Voting for dummies (and the rest of us)
Why should you vote? If you know Robert Fulghum’s famous book All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, here’s similar inspiration for supporting democracy from Tennessee History for Kids:
Vote. When you turn 18, you will be allowed to vote. There are many countries where people are not allowed to vote. The people in those countries have no say as to how their government runs or who their elected officials are. Where would you rather live – a place like that, or a place like the United States
If you vote for no other reason today, you’ve done enough. Please take the time to head to the polls this afternoon. (The polls close at 7 p.m., and Nashville.gov will show you were you can cast a ballot.)
