Everyone is so focused on the big presidential election this November that it becomes very easy to forget about the other down-ticket races, many for state and local offices, that will also be happening this year. Most of these elections are decided on primary day -- whoever wins the party primary will surely win the general election, case closed.
Sadly, most people don't vote in primaries and miss this opportunity to exercise their real power. The entrenched powers-that-be are happy about this because they are almost always guaranteed to win and therefore can be much less accountable in office.
Don't let this happen! Don't be one of these people! If you're registered in a particularly party, please be sure to vote in the upcoming primaries next week. You can find all of the information you need at the New York City Board of Elections.
