The conventional wisdom would say that the candidates have one last day to convince voters, but that isn’t true. 

Sure, both candidates will continue their efforts; their campaigns are putting it all on the field, and perhaps a vote or three will be changed or cast because of their efforts.

But the truth is that their work is done. Everybody has heard everything from them they possibly could, and frankly, way too much. Another flyer, commercial, or rally appearance has next to no incremental value. 

But with about half the electoral still not having voted, there really is still work to be done. Just not by Trump or Kamala. 

It’s your turn. 

Of course, I know that anybody reading this will vote in this election. The number of people who read Hot Air who don’t vote could have a party in a phone booth. But I am not speaking of making sure your vote counts, but those of your friends, your neighbors, and all the people out there who might not make the trek to the polling place to cast their ballots. 

“It’s rigged.” “It doesn’t matter.” “I’m tired of this.” “I’m not sure.” There are countless reasons why people don’t vote, and I am a firm believer in your right NOT to vote as well as your right TO vote. Tyrannies require compliance in everything. You have a right to abstain.

But your friends and family likely do care what you think, and if you can drag a friend or family member to the poll and vote for Trump, it matters. And matters a lot. 

This election will be decided by the people who don’t vote as much as those who do. And if you can change a non-voter into a voter, you have made a huge difference, not because that ONE vote will alter the fate of the world, but because when combined all the votes that you readers aggregate through your efforts could very well change the outcome of the election.

“I live in California” or New York or Florida or…some noncompetitive state. Does it matter?

YES! The Democrats want to eliminate the Electoral College based on the argument that the Red states have disproportionate power. “We win the popular vote!” 

Except the popular vote is cast based on many voters in Blue states not believing their vote counts. Trump has a reasonable shot of winning the popular vote, and that bubble would be burst if we can drag people who support Trump and who don’t think it matters to go out and vote. 

If you live in a swing state, the stakes are infinitely higher. You know that already, but ACT on that fact. Everybody on Earth has heard from Trump, knows what he will say, and nothing he does now will change anybody’s mind. But you could. 

If you have a young son or grandson, promise him something nice if he goes out and votes. Young men are low-propensity voters and could decide this election.

There are countless things you could do that Trump can’t do anymore.

We are not just spectators; we can be active players in the game. Politics is not a spectator sport, although it usually gets covered that way. You and I ultimately determine the outcome, both with our own votes but also by signaling to others our intentions and persuading others to join us. 

You have two days to do so. Today and tomorrow. 

Two days to save America from high crime, open borders, inflation, war, censorship, and attacks on our Constitutional rights.
