I need some help here. I am a political dummy, but I have a 24 year old neice who is voting for the first time. She came over this morning with some questions that I am having trouble answering for her and thought maybe one of you could explain it to her.
She wanted to know why she should vote if electoral votes will decide this election anyway? I explained that there are still state and local issues that need to be voted on. She still said "Then my vote for president and VP doesn't count at all". I had her go online and do some research and she still say's the same thing!
I guess I'm not the person to try to explain this so if any of you have an easy way to explain it Please feel free! I am afraid she will just decide to NOT VOTE because I can't explain it.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give us!
Have a great day!
