Where Did All the Voters Go?
Based on a recent report by the U.S. Elections Project,[1] Americans had the lowest voter turnout rate since 1942. Interestingly, the top two reasons given to the U.S. Census Bureau why people did not vote were: (1) too busy, and (2) not interested.
Clearly, stopping this trend and engaging more persons to vote in future elections will be a significant objective for all candidates. Finding new and better ways to motivate more persons to vote should be interesting to follow.
