Voting impacts all of our lives; a vote makes the decision between two or more candidates, but a large assortment of votes decides our future as a nation. The leader chosen will be responsible for our country and taking care of difficult situations without getting the United States into a worse situation. If only the people who feel strongly about this election were to vote, then who knows where our country would end up; this is an example of a voluntary response sample and is statistically proven to be an inaccurate way of surveying and making decisions.

Having the opportunity to vote is a responsibility. Voting allows the common people to voice opinions and have a say in what our government looks like. As citizens, we build our nation with our votes and create power among the people; therefore it is crucial that we, as eligible voters, vote in the presidential election. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.”
