Letters: Ridge sets a bad example for voters

ISSUE | CAMPAIGN 2016 Ridge sets a bad example for voters Former Gov. Tom Ridge said he won't vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton ("Ridge: Won't vote for Trump - or Clinton," Wednesday). That he, as a politician, is not going to participate in our democracy at that level sends the wrong message to possible voters. We need more people voting, not refusing to vote, and we need to make voting easier with measures such as weekend voting or a national holiday to vote.

Ridge sets a bad example for voters

Former Gov. Tom Ridge said he won't vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton ("Ridge: Won't vote for Trump - or Clinton," Wednesday). That he, as a politician, is not going to participate in our democracy at that level sends the wrong message to possible voters. We need more people voting, not refusing to vote, and we need to make voting easier with measures such as weekend voting or a national holiday to vote.
