Voting works. Even so, come 2028 we'll once again be hearing from people infected by hapless ennui or actively working on voter suppression, about how #voting is useless. "It doesn't make a difference."

Really?

Tuck this away in the memory bank, to remember come the important day.

"Amendment 6, approved by a decisive margin, sharply limits the legislature’s ability to overturn laws and constitutional amendments enacted through citizen initiatives, and its ability to revive laws voters rejected through referendums.

...

Republican lawmakers put a measure on Tuesday’s ballot to restore abortion restrictions, but voters rejected that, too. With the passage of Amendment 6, abortion opponents don’t have a clear path to try again."

Voting makes a difference and anybody claiming otherwise is lying, either by self-deception or intentionally to cause harm.

There's --always-- a good reason to vote.
