2020 is a year for the books! From Coronavirus, social justice issues, the 100th year of women’s suffrage, and now, the upcoming General Election, we are all witnesses to history.
Voting provides citizens an opportunity to express patriotism and to stand up for what they believe in. Additionally, elections at both the local and national levels are vital to the democracy of the United States and its people. Everyone counts!
