    Is There Value In Uninformed Voters Analysis

    In the article “Is there Value in Uninformed Voters?” Brian Dickerson discusses his views on whether or not if people who are apathetic to politics should really cast their ballot on Election Day. Mr. Dickerson believes the way elections are held today are very restrictive to those who are willing to put in the time and effort to study the candidates and the issues, by having a small period to cast their ballots and difficulty to cast an absentee ballot. Citizens that are ill-informed are undermining American democracy because they are putting incapable leaders into office by not studying those who are running or what their values are, they mostly look at the letter that is next to the name. Dickerson states that even lower-tiered, local elections…

    The Importance of Elections as a Linkage Institution and Voting

    Linkage institutions can be defined as institutions that connect citizens with the government. Examples of linkage institutions include elections, political parties, interest groups, and the media. Elections specifically are supposed to encourage public participation in the selection of governmental officials. Unfortunately, low voter turnout has proved that elections are an imperfect linkage institution. Elections depend on voters to be successful, and some factors that relate to the likelihood of voting include age, education, and race. Although some people underestimate the power of the vote, voter turnout is important to the future stability of the country. Without elections, the United States would not be the same powerful world power that it is today.…

    Informed Voting

    It is the duty of the American people to play an active role in determining who represents their best interests in Congress. Stephen Witham, in his presentation titled, Becoming an Informed Voter, says the following in regards to the American peoples’ responsibility to not only vote, but to do so intelligently, “We, as voters, are supposed to focus primarily on electing Congress…I challenge the students to think about voting for an individual based on the way they vote to represent you in Congress.” In response to the aforesaid…

    Voting in a Democratic Society

    In a true democratic society, it is essential to ensure a government that follows the will of the people and not the one that force the people to follow it, that is, a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” as said by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address which lasted a little over two minutes on November, 19, 1863. Democracy is not government of some people by some people and for some people as a frequent practise in some developing nations. Democracy is a nation ruled by its citizenry. The beauty of democracy is that the minority will have their say but the majority will have their way. Functioning democracy implies where the people approve to the government operating the nation. All eligible voters are given chance to select their leader through their right to vote and to be voted for. In a truly democratic society, the representative or candidate who have been elected are liable in many ways to the people who voted and elected them. They have to implement those pledges made during elections with much transparency, accountability and good governance.…

    Essay On Voting In America

    Voting in America is difficult. There are many obstacles the potential voter has to run through in order to have their voice heard, and even, their candidate of choice may not win. They have to struggle with paperwork to get registered to vote, which also registers them for the eligible list of candidates for the jury pool, a task nobody wants anything to do with. Then after the hard paperwork and jury duty comes Election Day. The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, which leads to great confusion as to what day the elections are on. Even worse are the municipal elections which vary from town to town, and county to county, leaving masses of voters confused as to what day they have to go out and make their voices heard.…

    The Importance Of Voting In Canada

    Jane Goodall once stated, along these lines, that each person makes a difference but it’s up to that person what type of difference they want to make. Young people these days are put into the category that they cannot make a difference, they are belittled and made out to be careless. In turn these young people start to believe that they can’t make a difference therefore they don’t bother trying. This affect is seen in youth in their involvement in politics, the voting rate in Canada for youth voters has been declining for years according to Elections Canada , young adults therefore don’t appear all that interested in politics.…

    Voter Suppresion

    On October 23, I went to the lecture Mr. Wilson gave at the Methodist Center about voter suppression. He started by talking about the old ways of voter suppression. These were very indiscrete forms of voter suppression all targeting a specific population of people. For instance in the 1880’s in New York voting was only allowed on Saturdays, this was an attempt to try to stop the Jewish community from casting there vote. There were also poll taxes in many places; this was an attempt to try to keep the poor from voting. In the first half of the 1900’s the KKK would often threaten people with physical harm if they were to vote, this is another form of voter suppression.…

    Voter Id

    Is passing the law for a National Voter ID burdensome or causing mutilation of an important part of full citizenship? Twenty- seven states require or request some form of ID to vote. The supporters of the National Voter ID policy believe that if voters identify themselves before voting, election fraud will be reduced. Opponents of the ID requirement fear it will deprive voters of their right, especially in voting during the election. Many people believe that it will be harder for voters, especially the poor, members of minority groups and elderly, who are less likely than other voters to have suitable identification (Urbina). The debate is making the differences between groups or ideas ever more clear-cut and extreme, hardening the opposition between them, or makes voting become ever more clear-cut and extreme in this way, this is because most of the proponents are Republicans and most of the opponents are Democrats.…
