In the last primary, only 9 percent of us went out to vote in Highlands County. In the presidential preference primary, only 49 percent of us voted. Back in 2004, the presidential vole, only 69 percent of Highlands' voters voted.
We must do better. In my precinct 5, 385 out of 1,800 Republicans voted in the August primary. That is awful.
Every vote counts. We have excellent candidates at all levels. Be sure to vote on Nov. 4, or better yet, vote early or by absentee ballot. All hands on deck.
