I voted for freedom today in Ohio — and so did everyone else across the country who voted

No matter who wins today, every vote is important. Every simple ‘X’ marked in a polling station in every state in this country is significant. It is a tangible, visible reminder of freedom — freedom in action, freedom to choose. We choose a leader who will be free of tyranny. We choose a leader who will allow us to continue to decide what we read and what we will say. We choose a leader who will ensure public access to basic necessities of life. We choose a leader who values women and recognizes our worth and contributions to society. We cannot make a wrong choice in this regard.

We have the freedom to choose — and with each and every vote today, we choose freedom.
