In past elections I recall parking and walking towards the school and looking at the groups pride fully representing their candidate and putting on their inviting and engaging front in the hopes to make a positive impression and sway your choice when you select your candidates.
Today there was only one table and they were there to show and garner support for Trump. Nobody else was represented. Nobody else felt the need to drum up support for their candidate or party.
As I walked in I began to wonder exactly how many "our vote really doesn't matter so to hell with it" registered voters there are in the districts that feel left out of representation within the state. Are there enough that in a trickle don't make a dent but in a flood would command some notice so that maybe in future elections we'd at least have brightly dressed, smiling, engaging people waving their little flags in an effort of woo?
It hit me that as long as we stay away because "we really don't matter"... we really won't matter.
I may just be part of a trickle today, but I'll go to sleep hoping to have been part of a flood.
