anything and everything keeps ppl from voting. ignorance is the highest reason. when asked, 3/4 of ppl dont know who secretary of defense or state is. how can you vote for someone when you havent a clue about any issues and who you re acually voting for.to vote, takes 5 minutes. nobody is that busy that they cant stroll by their local polling place every other yr and put in their 5 minutes. since they re open til 8 pm, not too many job seekers out there at that time. besides, i dont want anyone voting in my america if they couldnt even name the current vp. ignorance ignorance and more ignorance.

People in pain are often passionate people. They are passionate about solving their situation - and when they believe that someone is responsible for their difficulty, or that someone else has the ability to end their suffering - they tend to be sure and vote.
Few people realize the power behind a handwritten letter that expresses what the individual thinks. Washington is drowning in lobbyists and their mindless petitions or group mailings... but an original letter is something to pay attention to.
We must vote to be heard - but we must write to make sure they understand what they are being told by that vote.

I think it would cause a rise and a decrease at the same time.
On the one hand you would have a large base of angry voters who feel frustrated about their circumstances and want change. They would be motivated to vote.
On the other hand you would have people who have been depressed by their circumstances and may have lost hope. They would be less likely to vote.

In East St Louis, a poor city, people still turn out, and the politicians make sure that the elderly and poor get rides to vote.

Statistically speaking the lower class americans tend to vote less. In part due to their demand on time, and in part due to a general sense of indifference. If you spend all your time trying to get food, or a job, you don't have time to vote, or likely care.
