Voters here in Pennsylvania have a significant decision to make today at the ballot box. Don’t let your voice go unheard as the Keystone State has become the center of the 2024 presidential election.

Consider: both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were in Pittsburgh Monday evening for rallies, and Harris followed that up with a late Monday event in Philadelphia. Both campaigns have courted voters here for the past month.

This much is clear: Pennsylvania will be the difference maker in this election. Most experts agree that whichever candidate wins the state, wins the election. That means it’s imperative to get out and vote. Don’t let your voice go unheard. That’s happened far too often in the past.

During the 2022 general election, only about 60% of voters in the commonwealth cast a ballot. And in the 2020 general election, voter turnout statewide in Pennsylvania was nearly 71% – the highest turnout since 1960. A total of 6.9 million ballots were cast of the 9.8 million registered voters. That’s good – but it also means nearly 3 million Pennsylvania residents did not vote in the 2020 election!

We must do better.

We would advocate for every eligible voter to get out and do their civic duty and vote. It’s really that simple. If you are a registered voter and haven’t already done so, vote. Today.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Remember to take your ID.

Those of you who read the news each day and follow what’s happening at both the local and state level and mutter to yourselves “someone should do something about this,” today is your chance.

Voting is the one guarantee we have that our voice will be part of the decision-making process.

It starts with you. Vote.
