21 "I'm Voting Because" Tweets To Inspire You

We all have our reasons to vote — and each and every one is valid. The stream of "I'm voting because" tweets is a great way to gauge how the country is feeling this Election Day; everyone seems to have their own reason for heading down to the polling place. When you look at these tweets, though, you'll see that your vote isn't just for yourself. You're making a decision about how you want the country to look for everyone who lives in it. When you vote, you're supporting everyone else's reasons in addition to your own.

In that way, Twitter is fulfilling the ideal role of a social media site in connecting people from all over the country (and all over the world, if you count military and overseas voters!) as they all go out to choose the country's next president. Whether you somehow still need inspiration to vote, if you want to see reasoning from both sides, if you want to feel good about the vote you already cast, or you're just curious to see what's bringing people out to the polls, it's definitely worth having a look. Here's a list of 21 of the funniest, most touching, and just all around best reasons that people are rocking the vote today.
