Voting Rates of the American Poor

Among "poor labor", David Shipple reported that in the 2000 presidential election, 38% of Americans who won less than $ 10,000 and 75% of Americans who won more than $ 75,000 voted ing. Please vote. (278) These statistics are not limited to 2000. In the six elections from 1980 to 2000, the average voter turnout of 1/5 of the 1 / 5th of the population was 53%, but the top 5 average voters exceeded 80% ( "Election Results"). In the fifth lowest rank, average household income for each year is less than $ 11,500.

Are you a registered voter? You may expect a high voting rate in the United States. Many people - women, African Americans, and the poor - are fighting for voting rights; of course, their descendants would want to exercise their voting rights. Today I would like to discuss the importance of voting with you. Voting has three important aspects. The first side is those who have not voted, the second is the voter turnout rate is very low, and finally the reason why the voters are privileges given to Americans. Many people do not know that they are lucky enough to have an opportunity to state their opinion on who is leading our country. It took years for us to give equal voting rights to all the citizens, so everyone should use it. All qualified persons in the United States need to vote. Human characteristics affect whether they participate in voting

Early voting is always an important gospel for minority voting. For example, the "voting soul" of many African-American churches who voted on Sunday before the election day helped to increase the vote rate of black voters. In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, the early voter turnout rate of African American residents was found to be more than 20 times that of white voters in 2008. Currently, 32 states and Washington DC are conducting early voting of individuals in some way. The length of the early voting period varies from state to state. Major states started voting early in late September, including Iowa State and South Dakota State, and gave citizens the right to vote for over a month. Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) and the 2011-12 Republican Legislature have shortened Florida's early balloting time from 14th to 8th.

Maintaining the political stability of the United States. The poor helped stabilize the political process of the United States. They are unlikely to register and the possibility of voting is low, but if you vote, the possibility of voting for the Democratic Party will be higher. why? Republican policies are usually commercial (whether not anti-poverty), family owned capital theory (those who want to upgrade must invest in human capital). Their social policy is conservative. Democrats generally know this and they are obliged to meet their needs as they know that most poor do not vote for Republicans. With this situation, President Clinton was able to sign the 1996 welfare reform bill drafted by the Republican-managed Congress. However, over the past 15 years, efforts to make voting more difficult often have the greatest impact on the poor.
