A perfect example of how much each vote does count. It reminds of the old saying:
Quote:
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

I'd bet the Virginia GOP is wishing it had a couple of more "nails" turn out at the election. The hold of any one party anywhere is fully dependent on those of their party actually getting to the voting booth. Even if your party/candidate/issue fails to win, at least you can be secure in the knowledge you at least had a voice in the choice. The right to vote in the US was hard won (some had to fight longer and harder to get their right to vote) and is not a right to be taken lightly. It also not to be taken lightly when some seek to deny or abridge the right to vote to satisfy a particular partisan goal, desire or prejudice. If you are of age to vote and you meet the qualifications to vote, be sure you exercise your right. There are o lot of places in this world where our right to vote is envied...
