IT BEARS REPEATING...

 

... YOUR VOTE MATTERS!

As you know, Township elections were recently held on March 9th. In a neighboring township, the election was decided 195 to 191. That's a 1% edge! Four votes out of nearly 400. That means one household or just a couple of two-person households decided the outcome.

Here in Eureka, there have been several elections decided by a handful of votes, even as few as TWO votes.

Other neighboring townships have frequently had low voter turnouts in the twenties. In such a case, it wouldn't take much of an organized effort to change the outcome.

LESSON LEARNED: You truly have a powerful influence in your local government. Your one vote can actually be the deciding vote. There were 455 votes cast on March 9th in Eureka. While the margin was not close, it could have been. Thank you for voting!
