In a five-person race, Dziedzic-who had raised the most money and had the most support from elected officials and unions-beat Noor by only six points. I brought this message to hundreds of residents during Noor’s two-month campaign for the state senate. We vote because it’s a right enshrined in our Constitution, and one that we must exercise. It is not something that needs a long explanation. I can express the importance of voting succinctly. In the United States, one of the greatest democracies in the world, we have one of the lowest voter turn-outs, which is a disaster and a disgrace. Worrying who is going to vote and why is an afterthought, a privilege. I disagree with those who argue that educating voters on the issues or candidates is crucial to the process.
