When it comes to voting, it's important to distinguish between hoping, faith, and knowing. Hoping is wishing for a particular outcome without certainty.

Faith, on the other hand, is trust or confidence in something or someone, often without proof. Knowing is having the facts or information, being certain.

When voting, you may hope for a certain candidate to win, and have faith in their promises.

But it's crucial to also know - to be informed about the candidates, their platforms, and how they align with your values and the issues that matter to you.

Only then can you make an informed decision and vote effectively.
