I would like to address this issue by urging us to make voter reforms in our state. 1-attract more young people to come out and vote is to allow 17 year olds who will be 18 on or before the day of the November general election to vote in a preceding primary or special election. This mall change in the law would have big benifits. 2-Allow early voting in our state to make it easier for people who can’t make it on Election Day. This will potentially increase voter turnou in our state.
Let’s have our open Senate seats filled by elections, not appointment. The Constitution provides both paths, but election in 90 days, with primaries in 45 days (for example), gives the whole people of a state the choice, not just one voice…that of the governor.
