Guide to the 2014 Midterm Elections and Key Issues ...(What are we voting for?)
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on October 24, 2014 Midterm Election Guide THE STORY There's a lot happening out there. We get it. That's why you have us. Just check out our Skimms on the big stuff below. NOT GETTING A PRESIDENT THIS YEAR, DON’T CARE. Good for you. But you still need to vote. Midterm elections are when we choose governors, congressmen, and senators. Governors are like the CEOs of states. And congressmen and senators literally lay down the law -- they decide which bills pass and which don’t. So yes, important. Vote. BUT WHY IS THIS YEAR SO IMPORTANT? This year’s all about that Senate. Dems have controlled the Senate since ‘06, and the GOP is ready to cut in. If that happens, the GOP would control both houses of Congress. Aka it could push through its agenda, which Obama and the Dems have mostly blocked nationally for the last six years. Revenge is sweet.
