The Seasons are Changing, but will our Politician Makeup do the same in State and National Elections?
By Nicholas Kuzma
Syracuse, N.Y. (Democracy In Action)- Change could be on the way, and not just the seasonal one.
The 2018 Midterm Elections are here and many people are using this as an opportunity to make their voices heard.
“I think this could be a very important election for us going forward here, just with how polarizing politics are now,” said afternoon voter Kramer Cook. “I think there is definitely some people that regretted not going out and voting in 2016.”
In New York State, voters are marking their ballots for a wide range of offices including state assembly, attorney general, governor, and US House and Senate.
But still with the stakes so high, voter turnout could improve.
“It’s important to vote because if you don’t vote then you have no opinion,” said Polling Place Inspector Cyo Wright. “And if your opinion isn’t voiced then you can’t complain.”
Polls close tonight at 9 PM.
After that, we will see if a change to our political makeup does indeed occur.
