Poll: only 28 percent of young voters say they will certainly vote in the 2018 midterms
VOTE!
DO YOUR PART TO CHANGE THIS STATISTIC WHEN IT MATTERS IN NOVEMBER!
are u fucking kidding me hey kids following me please make sure yall are voting in this fuckin midterm jesus louisus (with all due respect, of course)
REMEMBER THAT THIS COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH
FUCKING VOTE
And if you can’t physically go vote, look into voting by mail! It’s never to early to register to vote and it’s never too early to find out about voting by mail!
Even if you think you’re registered, they’re illegally deregistering people. Make sure you’re registered. It’s super fucking easy. Just go to turbovote.org.
vote.org is also a great website to both register to vote and find out if you’re still registered. Quick and EZ.
If you don’t vote, you’ve forfeited your bitching privileges.
Make sure to REALLY look into “voting by mail,” as in almost all states call it an “absentee ballot” and some make it quite difficult to get one based on disability.
ETA: Also TurboVote can help you register, but doesn’t seem to have a way of checking if you are already registered, despite what’s reported here. Your state’s Secretary of State office should have a page where you can look up your registration. Here is the one for my state, Texas: https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do
(Also, people, please stop adding shit to this post you only kinda sorta know about or haven’t checked into, or else you’re not helping. This is important!)
Given that 16% voted in 2014, this would be miraculous. And it’s only the “certain to vote” number, there are even more leaners. Don’t get me wrong, do everything you can to get out to vote, but this is historic.

This is the most important election in our lifetimes. Keep bitching but know that’s not enough. You put it into action by voting.
