Unbridled9 11/07/18 7:38:12 AM #23:	The midterms decide who is in the house of reps and the senate which hold considerable amounts of power. Not to mention various offices within your state and local governments. While they may not be able to radically alter the direction of the nation on their own the combined efforts of the elected officials hold equal, potentially superior, sway to that of the president and the other offices can end up affecting things like tax rates in your state/city and other things. They are worth voting for.
