Voting: Our Civic
Responsibility!

The checks and balances inherent in our Constitution, as the pillars of our democratic form of                OCTOBER
government, usually mention Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary. But a key component, as important         2020
as any of the three, is voting! When we vote, we make our greatest contribution to our democracy; we
vote people into office and out of office. Voting truly represents “a government of, by and for” the power
of the people!
And yet, many people don’t vote! Did you know that only 58% of the Americans ELIGIBLE to vote in the

                                                                                                             The Cedars Post
2016 Presidential election actually voted? 138 million citizens comprised that 58%, while about 92 million
people did NOT vote for varied reasons! In 2016, several key “battleground” states, with the thinnest
margins of victory, decided the Electoral College eventual winner, while the opponent won the total
popular vote. Needless to say, that election was decided as much by the large numbers of non-voters as
by the actual voters!
There has been considerable research into the question of why more eligible citizens don’t vote. The U.S.
is actually below average in its voting percentages behind the other large democracies in the world. So,
why don’t more eligible Americans vote? The extensive research cites the main reason as a detachment
from the political process that causes a general lack of knowledge and disinterest in even knowing the
candidates.
So, the question for you and the challenge to you is simple. Everyone knows by now that this upcoming
Presidential election is perhaps the most important ever! No one can afford to waste his or her vote by
not voting. Every American owes an allegiance to OUR country, not by verbiage, but by the action of
VOTING! And it’s easier than ever, as well. Here’s how:
   þ Get your ballot application here. Simply call the Concierge to
      have it delivered to you.
   þ Fill it out and mail ASAP! No ballot will be mailed to you if
      you don’t apply for one.

This year we celebrate the 100th Centennial birthday of the 19th Amendment, ratified in August 1920,
which gave women the right to vote. Called the Suffragette amendment, it took more than 70 long years
of painful struggle to pass. It then required the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to get women of all color the
real freedom to vote! We hope that EVERY woman AND man here at The Cedars will make it their civic
responsibility to cast their important vote in this next, most significant election!
