I will vote in WI tomorrow.
Dear Millenials.
You catch a lot of grief.
There are special elections tomorrow: WI, PA, SC.
The midterms are in 295 days.
Here's what 2016 looks like if it was JUST MILLENNIALS.
This map shows your power.
And I have faith.

State legislatures make laws about everything from civil rights to student loan policies to marijuana legalization, which is to say that local elections are extremely significant.
According to Flippable, Special elections are anyones game. Most voters dont show up at the polls for them, so the normal rules dont apply. The party thats paying the most attention has the best chance of winning. In other words, more than ever, every single vote counts.
Good for them!
And the Postcards to Voters initiative has been targeting races across the nation for volunteer postcard writers, and artists. It's a well organized, professional organization that provides talking points for each race, and people can also request candidates in their areas be added to their campaigns.
