There are numerous examples of the importance of every single vote. We like this reminder, courtesy of today's Monday Morning Message, a weekly missive from Lee Fisher, Dean of the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University.
Fisher was elected Ohio Attorney General in 1990 in the closest statewide election in Ohio history. The margin is easy to remember, 1,234 votes out of 3.4 million votes cast. That was less than one vote per precinct, earning him the dubious moniker of "Landslide Lee".
If you haven't voted early, vote tomorrow. If you don't care to vote for yourself, vote for someone you love, whose freedom, finances, education, health, or security depends on the outcome. Be her hero.
And make sure you vote all the way to the end of the ballot. Some of the most important races are there. If you haven't researched all the contests and issues, check our our endorsements in the current issue of The Real Deal Press. You can even access it on your smart phone or tablet inside the voting booth, so there is no reason to skip a race because you don't have a clue.
