Does Your One Vote Really Make a Difference? Yes, It Literally Can!
The outcome of two of our local elections in recent years hinged on a single vote. Especially with local races, every single vote matters! Margaret Okuzumi, a veteran community and political activist, will present on these case studies, and discuss what the consequences were of candidates coming up one vote short. Then we’ll focus on the question, how does one decide what candidates and measures to vote for? How can you tell which candidates are actually going to walk their talk?
