Two tweets worth repeating and retweeting:

Dan Rather tweeted: “All those saying the ‘vote, vote, vote’ message is old and tired undermine the power of the ballot box. Elections are fulcrums that pivot the course of history. There’s abundant evidence of this simple fact. Is voting enough? No. Is it a potent tool for change? Absolutely.”

David Axelrod tweeted: “The best and most effective way to respond to blatant, calculated efforts to discourage voting is to vote in record numbers.”

Yes and yes to Dan and David. Make plans to vote. Go to co.clatsop.or.us/clerk/page/voter-registration-information, there are many sources of information.
