It doesn't matter if you thought Obama needed Alison or you were ready to ditch Mitch, Louisville voters on Tuesday seemed to have one common thought: Their vote matters.

Mid-term election coverage took me to the Academy at Shawnee and Jeffersontown High School in search of voters ready to share their election season story. Some were new citizens, some voted by issue and some just voted because they disliked a candidate. However different the story, the conclusion was the same: Voting is a civic privilege in which everyone should participate.
