I’ve started seeing electoral YouTube ads again, so I’ve decided to write an essay on the topic of voting. I believe the act of voting should be an intentional considered event and try to make this case to you here. 

A vote isn’t just a filled in circle on a ballot. It’s a reflection of the values and reasoning of the voter behind it. Let’s talk about why that matters.

The music in the intro and outro are from a recital I gave earlier this year, summer 2025. 

Minute Waltz,, Chopin

Warmest regards - John
