9 Reasons You Should Get Out And Vote This Election Although many people have described this years presidential election as a choosing between the lesser of two evils, there are still many reasons to get out and cast your vote.

Flip the script to see 9 Reasons Why You Should Hit The Polls This Year.
They say that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. And while we haven’t done the research on this, it stands to reason that every time a person announces he’s voting for Donald Trump , an angel dies and is violently thrown into the deepest pits of hell. It just makes sense. And so it is with so much sadness that we say RIP to one more angel, because Derick Dillard just endorsed The Orange Douchey One. It all started over on Twitter, where Derick expressed the importance of voting. “Are you registered to vote?!” he wrote. “If not, it’s not too late. No excuses. Get ‘er done so you can vote….and then don’t forget to vote!” Someone asked him who he was voting for, since he’s obviously super into it, and his response? “Trump Pence.” And people got furious . “To support a man that thinks sexually assaulting women is ok and cheating on their spouse is ok,” one person responded. “Figures.” “Bad move!” another wrote. “He’s a racist and a bigot! A true Christian would never vote for Trump!” “It doesn’t shock me that y’all are racist,” yet another person commented, and someone asked Derick “Why are you voting for a bigot?” But then some internet hero dropped a major truth bomb, and it was beyond glorious. “Would you be okay with Jill being treated how Trump admits he treats women? With Israel acting lewd like Trump when he’s grown?” “If not, I don’t see how you can trust him with the highest office in the nation…?” It’s a great point, and it obviously makes a lot of sense, but the Duggar family isn’t usually one for sense, is it? After all, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault multiple times , and he even admitted to it in his now-infamous 2005 conversation with Billy Bush. To be specific, he said that he kissed women without their permission, because that’s what you do “when you’re a star.” When you’re a star, Donald claimed, you could also just go ahead and “grab them by the pussy.” There’s no way Derick Dillard here hadn’t heard about all that, and he still plans on voting for Trump, even when his own wife was molested ? Real classy, bud. And by “classy,” we mean “completely and utterly despicable and not even a little forgivable.” Obviously. View Slideshow: 17 Celebrities Who Actually Support Donald Trump

Virginia Governor Signs Executive Order That Allows Felons To Vote Again Rather than having Republicans shut down the idea of restoring felons their voting rights, Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe used his executive power and restored voting rights to hundreds of thousands of felons on Friday. From the New York Times : Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia used his executive power on Friday to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons, circumventing the Republican-run legislature. The action effectively overturns a Civil War-era provision in the state’s Constitution aimed, he said, at disenfranchising African-Americans. The sweeping order, in a swing state that could play a role in deciding the November presidential election, will enable all felons who have served their prison time and finished parole or probation to register to vote. Most are African-Americans, a core constituency of Democrats, Mr. McAuliffe’s political party. Amid intensifying national attention over harsh sentencing policies that have disproportionately affected African-Americans, governors and legislatures around the nation have been debating — and often fighting over — moves to restore voting rights for convicted felons. Virginia imposes especially harsh restrictions, barring felons from voting for life. “There’s no question that we’ve had a horrible history in voting rights as relates to African-Americans — we should remedy it,” Mr. McAuliffe said in an interview Thursday, previewing the announcement he made on the steps of Virginia’s Capitol, just yards from where President Abraham Lincoln once addressed freed slaves. “We should do it as soon as we possibly can.” It’s said that an estimated 5.84 million Americans are denied the right to vote because of felony convictions.
