The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for July 10, 2024
Brian is on vacation this week, so we're running a series from 2022 called "Why Americans Don't Vote."
Why People Don’t Vote Week: Nonvoters Cite Lack of Faith in Electoral System as Reason Not to Show Up
Today, we have another in our series of why Americans don’t vote. In the 2016 election, over 41%, 100 million people, didn’t vote at all, despite a contentious and competitive election. One of the reasons cited in a poll after the 2016 election was a lack of faith in the electoral system.
