We tend to concentrate on the big one. All of us as Americans get to vote for President. Well all most all of us. You do need to be 18 or over and register to vote. And you must have a proper ID in some states. But my point is there is one president for the entire country and there will be millions of us voting.
But there are other elections that are just as important. Collectively, they may be more important. On the national scene we will be voting for all members of the House of Representatives (all 435 of them) and about a third of the 100 Senators. And all although singly each of these has limited power, collectively they have lots of power.
A President can only do so much without the support of many of them. So when you decide who you think would be the better President, you may want to consider these other elections too.
It is not only important to pick someone who will work with the President of your choice but consider that this person may need to work with the other candidate. Someone who will try to do the right thing for all constituents and for America is clearly the better choice than the strict ideologue or party loyalist.
