There is nothing I hate more than people who absolutely refuse to vote. For today's sermon, I am going to do my best to try to motivate non-voters to do their civic duty and show everyone how to make an informed decision this November. First, let us take a look at some excuses that people who do not vote use to justify their laziness. One reason that I hear over and over again is that there is no one worth voting for. Nearly every election from county commissioner to state senator has some sort of primary process.
Primaries always have plenty of candidates from which to choose.
Furthermore, our political party system is set up to make it easy for people to vote. During the primary season, loyal Democrats and Republicans select candidates whom they believe best represent their beliefs. Here is a tip for you non-voters who read the Beacon . I normally do not advocate voting strictly for a party, but at least you are letting your voice be heard. The textbook answer to this lame excuse is that if everyone thought this then nothing would ever be accomplished.
