Happy Election Day! Today is the day to get out to the polls and exercise the greatest privilege we have in this country: voting! After months of preparation together, we finally get to cast our ballots and make known the representatives we want in office and our views on the 10 propositions affecting California. But some make the argument that living in a state like California means that your vote doesn’t really matter. How do we respond to this if the results of the election aren’t what we hope for them to be? If the outcomes of the propositions are not what we voted for, then did our vote really matter at all? I want to give you some encouragement on how to think about election results, whether good or bad, on today’s election episode of The California Conversation!
