Smith: Vote early; Get on the list

I am visiting my twin sister in Sun City West and was impressed by your nonpartisan community newspaper.

Though I was tempted to ask why Sun City West has no recycle and allows Styrofoam, which I found dumbfounding, I decided your invitation to civic engagement civilly prompted the above.

Voting early ensures you vote on time. When you don’t vote, you provide double the vote for someone who disagrees with your views on a person or ballot measure.

Your vote is your voice. Do use it.
