Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last election and I’m sure Russia will bring it back:

• YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.
• YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.
• IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.
• DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.
• DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
• DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
• NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
• VOTE.

To the second to last point:

I’m from Orange County, California, originally. One of the reddest counties in the US, sitting smack in the middle of one of the bluest states.

This past election, despite fucktrumpet getting the win, it was the first time OC had voted blue since FDR.

If change is needed, your vote absolutely can and will make a difference.
