Today is National Voter Registration Day, so just in case…here’s some info you might want to use.
So many people believe their one vote may not matter in elections, but they do. How do I know? Check this out.
Donald Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – all three – with less than one percent of the vote.
LESS THAN ONE PERCENT.
He won Florida by less than 2 points.
But, check out how many LGBTQ voters there were that not only didn’t vote but didn’t even REGISTER to vote.

Clearly the LGBTQ vote could – and should – make a difference.
VoteProud.org is a non-partisan movement to inspire the LGBTQ+ community to register and vote. Working to combat voter apathy among all marginalized Americans, their movement demands all citizens are treated equally.
The group has partnered with When We All Vote, a non-partisan voting effort co-chaired by Michelle Obama and several other influential voices who are changing the culture around voting using a data-driven and multifaceted approach to increase participation in elections.
If you click over to VoteProud, you can easily check your voter registration or – if you’re not registered already – do it right there.
