VFW Auxiliary encourages everyone to vote
It is your voice, your right and your responsibility
GREENVILLE – The VFW Auxiliary to Post 7262 is encouraging everyone to
take advantage of the privilege so many Americans have fought and died
for – your right to vote. There are many reasons for you to exercise
this right that is uniquely American. The basic one is because it gives
you a say in what your government does in relation to making laws,
regulations and spending your tax dollars.
Your community depends upon input from all residents about what is
believed to be the right actions to be taken by government – that is
why levies such as those on this November’s ballot are important for
everyone’s opinion to be voiced through the ballot box.
Voting is how those in City Hall, the Court House, Congress and the
White House are made responsible to each citizen. It is our chance to
let them know how each of us feels about the job they are doing. To
play liberally with the words of Plato, if you do not vote to decide
who will rule you, you are likely to be ruled by fools.
Your vote does count! According to a 2001 study of state and federal
elections in the United States between 1898 and 1992, "one of every
100,000 votes cast in U.S. elections, and one of every 15,000 votes
cast in state elections, ‘mattered’ in the sense that they were cast
for a candidate that officially tied or won by one vote.
Voting for Ohioans is very convenient. In addition to in-person voting
on November 3 at your polling place, voters may vote by mail or do
in-person early voting seven days a week at the Board of Elections
located at 300 Garst Avenue, Greenville.
Honor those who have served by voting in the November General Election
to choose who you believe will best represent you. Visit

County. The Board of Elections may be reached by calling 937-548-1835.
