I just early voted in the Florida Democratic Primary.

5. It matters not only because we need to get to 1991 delegates before

the convention, but because, for heavens sake people, there are more things on the primary ballots than just a presidential contest!

In each state, and district, and ward there are other races. For me, in my locality, there are also races for US Senator, US Representative, State Representative, Water Reclamation District Commissioners, State's Attorney, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Judge of the State Supreme Court, and 16 judicial races for Appellate and Circuit court vacancies. As well as Ward Committeeman.

We need to vote in each race, federal, state, and local on our ballots. And we need to do this every time there is an election. The presidency is not the only important race on the ballot! In fact, in case we get a crappy president again, our state and local officials become all the more important in protecting the things that matter to us.
