Voting Turnout and Voting Participation

- Click here for the wiki.

As you probably know - and are thankful for - voting is optional in the United States. And while the ability of different groups to vote has expanded over the course of time, not all do. This is an important - and consequential - fact of American politics. Election results are less due to the popularity of certain candidates and policy proposals in the general population than of their popularity among the portion of the population that turns out to vote. This makes sense of course. The purpose of this section is to walk through the factors leading to the variance in voter turnout and why some groups tend to vote why others do not.
