    One major complication to this is that many on that non-voting left are just unable to. Systematic voter suppression that adds unnecessary hurdles to voting, poll location closures, and just the fact that many of these folk can’t take the day off to vote, all come together to drive these numbers way down.

    Your vote matters.

    And if you want to multiply your impact, help some other folk to the polls. Last cycle I messaged my neighborhood that if anyone wasn’t able to get to the polls due to a transportation limitation that I’d drive them. I got 9 people turned out who wouldn’t have. And don’t wait for election day. Start early. Help folks who may need an ID or to get registered to get over that hump, and get people out to early voting if it’s available in your area. These are easy, and it builds representation for your community. Do it.
