Re: Should Voting Be Compulsory?
the amount of 18-24 year old voters rose significantly.
how much did it change the voting pattern? under 3%
when women got suffrage, thats right, all of women, how much did voting change? not at all. because they just followed their husbands votes.
and even in the past election the voting curve of men and women were very close together.
of course this election is different, because you have a female and male candidate....
but if you research statistics and polling and voting....it really is accurate.
in psychology we had a whole week devoted to the percentages of people who are polled and who vote, and its amazing how they prove that it really is representative.
but polls are another matter, because a large percentage of people wait till the day of to vote.
I know im not citing any sources, but i studied this is AP psychology in high school, critical thinking first semester here, and in my quantitative reasoning class this semester.
believe me or not...im just stating what i've read and been taught by several teachers.
