I've been working really hard to figure out who I should vote for this presidential election. One the one hand, Hilary Clinton is a criminal with plans that will ruin our country, while on the other hand, Donald Trump is a criminal with plans that will ruin our country. Every time I would make up my mind who I would vote for, I'd read a news story that proved that would be a bad idea. Now I feel like I can't vote for either candidate and still retain my integrity.
That's why I'm not voting for either of them. I'm voting for a third-party candidate, independent Evan McMullin. He happens to be a member of the Church, but that's not why I picked him. I picked him because he's the least terrible candidate to choose from. Don't get me wrong, I think McMullin will do a fine job, but he's also the only candidate that doesn't turn my stomach just thinking about voting for them. Some may say that I'm throwing my vote away by voting for a third-party candidate. To them I say that by voting for McMullin, I'll still be able to vote and exercise my civic duty without supporting a candidate who I detest.
So if you're struggling with who to vote for, remember that you have more than two options.
