Vote Down-Ballot today! It's never been so important to get Democrats into office.

In the House and Senate, they will support our Democratic president -- so for Gods' sake also mark your calendars for 2018 so we don't lose our gains to apathy.

I voted for a whole bunch of state and local offices on my ballot this morning. Why on Earth would I have stayed home complacently thinking my vote wouldn't matter just because the AP couldn't wait another 24 hours to call the top of the ticket?

It matters.
