Why Voting Matters
Every eligible adult in Escambia County, Alabama holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's.

That means roughly 14,000 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Escambia County would add about 700 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
