Voters all over the United States had ballots this year full of issues to decide on. Locally we voted for a Presidential election, Colorado Senator, Representatives, County Commissioners, Mill Levies and Propositions. All issues are important and are part of the power of a democracy. As results come in there are always groans and cheers. Your participation in local, state and federal elections as a citizen of the United States who is over the age of 18 is needed and is powerful. Every time I vote I think of the women before me who had to fight and protest for me to be able to vote. I am grateful and never take voting for granted. Keep your voice heard by voting and talking to elected officials.
