Letter: Civic duty doesn’t end on Election Day
To the editor:
As a new Portsmouth poll worker, I want to thank my colleagues who worked alongside me on Election Day, as well as the thousands of poll workers across the country who helped facilitate a free and fair election.
Most importantly, thank you to all the voters who participated — whether in person, during early voting or by mail. A special thank-you to the parents who brought their children to see democracy in action, and to the first-time voters — we look forward to seeing you at future elections!
Voting alongside our family, friends and neighbors keeps our democracy moving forward, but our civic responsibility does not end on Election Day. Every day, we must hold our leaders accountable to their oath to the Constitution and to the values and laws of our country.
“We the People” must remain civically engaged to ensure our democracy is preserved and to remind our elected officials that they are in office to serve the well-being of all constituents.
Terry Fogerty
