"Exercise your right to vote in June 26 primary election letter to the editor Misha Harnick

Exercise your right to vote in June 26 primary election

Many states are determined to replace republicans in Washington so as to mitigate the workings of corrupt and broken-down government.  We too need to replace our Republican congressman with a democratic one, and there are many reasons for this.   
It’s not just that we citizens ought to vote in elections on all levels, we should also engage in several pro-voting activities.  During the last month, thousands of registered Democrats put their name on the congressional candidates’ nominating petitions, and that is a good thing!   But those of us who collected the signatures also encountered people who did not know what this was about, were not aware that the candidates are running to replace/repeal John Faso (WHO?), the current Republican congressman of our congressional district 19, and also residents who did not want to have any part of it. 
In two months, on June 26th, we will have the right and duty to go to the polls to vote for one of the 7 democratic candidates.   Please follow the news, attend meetings, talk with people, so as to make the right decision when casting the ballot.   And if you will be away from home, as often happens in June, remember to cast an absentee ballot.  You can obtain an application on your county’s website [county]ny.gov, e.g. ulstercountyny.gov/elections.  Do it SOON.   
And if you want to assist people at the polling stations, obtain from the Board of Elections a “2018 new election inspector  application” form – it will be greatly appreciated
