In honor of election day, I'd like to share this great article from Parade Magazine regarding the right -- accutally the priviledge of voting. Please exercise your priviledge!
H.L. Mencken is often quoted as saying, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
Great line, but Mencken got it wrong—at least when it comes to voters.
Ever since I planted my first lawn signs for a county judge as a high-schooler in Cleveland, I’ve been fascinated by campaigns and elections. Now, 30 years later—after working in the Capitol and the White House, serving in three Presidential campaigns, and covering three more as Chief Washington Correspondent for ABC News—I’m still fascinated.
And I’m still convinced that, in most elections most of the time, voters get it right. The process works. As we head into the most exciting, historic, and high-stakes Presidential election of our lifetimes, here are some suggestions on how you can be an even better voter.
