The importance of voting on November 7, 2023

It is crucial for voters in Mississippi, Kentucky and Virginia to know the importance of casting a ballot on Election Day, despite it being a non-presidential election year.
In Kentucky, voters will determine whether to re-elect incumbent Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear to another term, or to replace him with the commonwealth's Republican attorney general, Daniel Cameron. Beshear remains one of the most popular governors in the country but has expressed support for the Biden administration, while Cameron has leaned heavily on former President Trump's endorsement.

Voters in Mississippi will have a similar choice as Democrat Brandon Presley, the second cousin of famed rock-n-roll legend Elvis Presley, seeks to oust incumbent Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, who is also backed by Trump. Reeves won the governorship by just over 5% in 2019, but Democrats have poured large amounts of money into the race and see it as a potential flip opportunity.
