Washington state elector says he won’t vote for Clinton

Just vote as your parents do; they are, after all, providing you a home once you graduate.
Over the past five years, we have removed nearly 887,000 registered voters who are no longer qualified to vote in MI, such as those who have died or moved out of state, or who are noncitizens.
Let me break it down further to show you how ridiculous any argument sounds against voting. “And it’s really exciting”, Bastrop County Elections Administrator Bridgette Escobedo said. “Bring your patience with you”, she said.
