Regular elections grant the public ability to pick representatives to handle public services on their behalf.  Casting vote for a preferred rep equates to voters customizing who will conduct local and national affairs that impact daily life and families.

Follow the math in this paragraph.  Elected officials generally hold sway over hired positions.  Elected local representatives set policies, approve budgets, and have the authority to hire or fire executive-level staff.  Since the public selects reps that hold authoritative sway over hired members of government, then electors hold the highest degree of power among the team.

Elections involve the public selecting members of government for all three branches.  Mayors and Governors for the Executive branch, Justices for the Judicial branch, and City Council members and a County Executive for the Legislative branch.  Therefore, elections give electors an ability to determine which candidate becomes a member of government.  Freedom of Speech grants the public rights to inform and criticize elected officials while in office and challenge their future reelections.

The right to vote must be protected for our democratic republic.  Fair running and fair elections encouraged.  Accurate counting of votes.
