This will be the page for articles pertaining to voters

The reason that some people don’t vote in state or presidential elections is because some people feel that what is conveyed in the candidates speeches and political ads don’t hold true to what they actually do if and when they get elected. A lot of times people feel that because of what they have experienced in prior elections and with politics prior to the recent one they are currently in that nothing good will come out of them actually going out and voting at all. Another reason that people don’t vote is that they aren’t educated in exactly how they are supposed to vote ie. Voter registration, how and where they need to go on election day and which candidate exactly is for them because state wide steps aren’t taking to make sure everyone is rightfully given the same basic instructions that come with voting and what it is that they need to cast a legal ballot. What me and Tyrone witnessed when doing are extra credit project on election day was that the majority of people who didn’t take our flyers were older aged to senior citizens and the people that did take the flyers ranged from ages of probably 18-30, and the reason we assumed this is because a lot of the people that came up to us when we handed out the flyers looked at the flyer either as they walked away or while they received it and in one instance we even had a gentleman thank us for having us there to stress the issue of voting and the importance of it. Another reason that most people don’t vote is because of the pressure that is placed on them not just to get out and vote but to also vote for a certain candidate because their friends or colleagues are voting for them they may feel inclined that if they don’t vote for who everyone else is voting for then they might be shunned upon as not following the crowd. Its kind of like in the city of Philadelphia how most of the population is Democrat and if someone lets say a first time voter was Republican he would have more stress to switch his party and go with “the flow” so to speak of being an democrat.(written by Trevor)
