With just less than a year to go until the 2012 election and most states having wrapped up their once-a-decade redistricting process, we’re starting to get a good sense about where the key House battles will take place.

A combination of an unpopular Congress, a volatile electorate, and changes resulting from redistricting mean there could be dozens of competitive races in just a handful of states.

**Opinion**

I highly encourage young voters to make their voice heard and participate in the electoral process. The House and the Senate are very important elections; not just the presidency! My hope is that many of you have witnessed how the House and/or Senate can have an enormous impact on your lives. And, due to such, will not allow such an injustice, of not allowing your rights to be properly represented in 2012. Thereby, taking part in the process that helps to represent your best interests.
