In the 2022 midterms, 46.8% of eligible voters cast ballots. That means that less than half the voting population determined control of the House and Senate, not to speak of state legislatures, governors, mayors, judges, and more.
This year, which party wins control of Congress will determine the future of our country. If you care about democracy and preserving our freedoms, vote! And get your family and friends to vote! If you’re not registered, you have until October 24. You can register and get voter information at https://elections.ny.gov/.
