Earlier today, NAACP President Derrick Johnson tweeted out, "Today, we make our voices heard. Voting is more than a right — it's a powerful tool for change." But not everyone feels this way. So for those feeling voter apathy, I asked him to talk about what's at stake. "What's at stake for this election are the public policy priorities. This election is less about the candidates of the political parties, but the direction this country will take. And for African Americans, we are fighting hard to ensure that the diversity we find ourselves in is something we can celebrate and can project out for 2030, as opposed to allow the forces of opposition to turn the clock back and create a 1930s apartheid America." This year, the NAACP invested $20 million in its civic engagement program aimed at 12 states nationwide to empower and protect Black voters at every level of our democratic process, push back against rampant disinformation, and provide voters with critical and accurate information.

This episode of Sunday Civics, L. Joy tackles voter apathy. It's an issue that arises every election season but is relevant year-round. She addresses common myths that fuel political disengagement and explains why participation in elections at all levels is crucial. Emphasizing that while voter turnout is higher during presidential elections, it significantly drops during midterms and local elections, leaving critical decisions to a small, active group, L. Joy encourages listeners to combat this by making a voting plan and engaging with non-voters, highlighting the importance of civic engagement and empowering people to vote. Then April R. Silver brings Dr. Tameka Hobbs to the front of the class for the Arts and Activism segment powered by AKILA WORKSONGS.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says the African National Congress (ANC) performed poorly in the May 29 elections because many people in some of the country's large cities such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Durban withheld their votes out of dissatisfaction with the provision of services where they live. He spoke Sunday at the opening of the ANC National Executive Committee's (NEC) lekgotla, or roundtable. Ramaphosa also said that voters punished the ANC for its failure to deliver economic growth and the collapse of services such as electricity. He said the ANC chose a government of national unity as the best way to address the shortcomings and respond to voters who are unhappy with the ANC. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, the ANC should have begun its self-assessment by first owning its failures

What happens when voter indecision grips a nation during a high-stakes election featuring two well-known incumbents? Join Bryan DeAngelis, Partner at Penta, as he sits down with Daniel Cox, Director and Founder of the Survey Center on American Life, and Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, to dissect this unprecedented scenario through the lens of new polling. They explore how the dynamics of this election are shaping voter sentiment, contributing to a growing sense of pessimism about America's future among citizens. Bryan and Daniel also focus their attention on voter behavior. They analyze Biden's focus on abortion and reproductive health in contrast to voter concerns about the economy and inflation. Additionally, they discuss the public's evolving views on immigration policy and changing demographics within the Democratic party, and how these factors could influence the upcoming election.

Voters under 30 account for a sixth of Europe's electorate. That's an important group for political parties to win over during this EU election season. Young people are less likely to take part in European elections than older generations, which makes them a prize for parties that know how to clinch their votes. But those aged 18 to 30 aren't just a demographic. Their choices are a bellwether of what the priorities of Europeans will look like in the future, for instance on climate change and energy independence. We discuss this with our guests.

In this compelling episode of the Lake Forest Podcast, hosts Pete Jansons and Joe Weiss tackle the pressing issue of voter apathy and the future of the Lake Forest Caucus. As participation dwindles, with only 257 community members turning out for a pivotal vote, questions arise about the continued relevance of the caucus system in modern governance.

While the 2020 election brought out a record number of voters to the polls across the country, the United States lags behind other countries when it comes to voter turnout. Whether from news fatigue or dissatisfaction with bipartisan politics, low voter turnout threatens democracy. That's according to Ken Warren, professor of political science at St. Louis University, who joined the most recent edition of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air.

Yes, political can be interesting and exciting. But in the latest episode of The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum talks with Saint Louis University's Ken Warren about what's driving increased voter apathy. Rosenbaum also speaks with state Rep. Tony Lovasco of St. Charles County about his call for Gov. Mike Parson to commute Brian Dorsey's death sentence. And in an exclusive interview, fashion icon and philanthropist Karlie Kloss talks with Rosenbaum about her passion for abortion rights.

Hosts: Scott Simpson and Leah Murray  Generational voter apathy is the story that does not die. Every few decades the polls show a wide lack of interest or faith in politics from our younger citizens, and Gen Z is no different. So what has made them so disengaged?

With 30 days before the American midterm elections, Heshy and our Glittering Host dive into the imponderable mysteries around Voter Apathy. The Political Class has managed to be universally reviled AND to keep themselves in power. How is this possible? How can 80% of New Yorkers hate the crime and decay of their city but only 11% of registered voters bother to go to the polls? Get involved, people, it's only your government if you bother to get involved in voting these clowns out of office to be replaced by responsible, respectable people who will actually act in your interests. Go vote; they HATE IT when you do that.

While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?Welcome to the mid-week edition in which we write essays on a public policy theme.

Sumitra Badrinathan, Devesh Kapur and Milan Vaishnav now have a paper titled ‘How Will Indian Americans Vote’ based on this survey that has a few interesting conclusions.  The study is useful to test a few hypotheses that have emerged in India in the past few years. These include:Indian Americans have nudged closer to the Republicans on the back of Trump-Modi chemistry. The enthusiasm for PM Modi among NRIs and among BJP supporters in India for Trump has created a positive self-reinforcing cycle for both. Most Indian Americans have turned conservative over time going by their stand on domestic issues in India. This is drawn from the views of many vocal Indian Americans on social media platforms and the anecdotal evidence of friends and family on WhatsApp groups supporting the conservative or majoritarian stance of this regime. This has led many to assume a large defection of Indian Americans from the Democratic camp that leans liberal. There have been multiple instances of the Democratic leadership (Biden, Harris, Warren, Jaypal et al) being critical of India’s position on various core issues like revocation of Article 370, the clampdown in Kashmir and the handling of CAA protests. There’s been a feeling the Democrats will lose support among Indian Americans because of this. Lastly, Indian Americans are seen as a model minority that’s highly educated, law-abiding with twice the national average household income. Will the typical minority issues like immigration, race and identity politics animate them like they do for other minorities?The key conclusions from the study are summarised below. It is quite an eye-opener when you consider the hypotheses outlined above. Indian Americans remain solidly with the Democratic Party. Recent anecdotal narratives notwithstanding, there is scant evidence that Democratic voters are defecting toward Trump and the Republican Party. Seventy-two percent of registered Indian American voters plan to vote for Biden and 22 percent intend to vote for Trump in the 2020 November election.Indian Americans do not consider U.S.-India relations to be one of the principal determinants of their vote choice in this election. The economy and healthcare are the two most important issues influencing the vote choice of Indian Americans, although supporters of the two parties differ on key priorities. “Kitchen table” issues dominate over foreign policy concerns. Indian Americans exhibit signs of significant political polarization. Just like the wider voting public, Republican and Democratic Indian American voters are politically polarized and hold markedly negative views of the opposing party and divergent positions on several contentious policy issues—from immigration to law enforcement.U.S.-born Indian American citizens tilt left compared to foreign-born citizens. While both U.S.-born and naturalized Indian Americans favor the Democratic Party, this tilt is more pronounced for U.S.-born Indian Americans. Political participation by naturalized citizens is more muted, however, manifesting in lower rates of voter turnout and weaker partisan identification.Harris has mobilized Indian Americans, especially Democrats. Harris’s vice presidential candidacy has galvanized a large section of the Indian American community to turn out to vote. On balance, while the Harris pick might not change large numbers of votes (given the community’s historic Democratic orientation), her candidacy is linked to greater enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket.A large section of Indian Americans view the Republican Party as unwelcoming. Indian Americans refrain from identifying with the Republican Party due, in part, to a perception that the party is intolerant of minorities and overly influenced by Christian evangelicalism. Those who identify as Republicans are primarily moved to do so because of economic policy differences with the Democrats—with particularly marked differences regarding healthcare. Political beliefs seep into perceptions of U.S.-India bilateral relations. Indian Americans believe Democrats do a better job of managing U.S.-India ties by a considerable margin while Republicans hold more favorable views of Modi. Bottom line: That nationalist, majoritarian NRI friend on your WhatsApp group finds virtues in liberalism while making their electoral choice.    Voter Apathy ≠ Political Apathy— Pranay KotasthaneIndian governments’ don’t do well on law and order, education, and public health. And yet there’s wide support whenever Indian governments and political parties promise new schemes to accomplish even grander things. What explains this paradox?I have two hypotheses.One, the political enthusiasm hypothesis. This is the reverse of the voter apathy idea. It means that the voters who have a disproportionate influence on setting the political agenda (read middle-income voters) were never apathetic to politics but only to government provision of public services.They became apathetic towards government provision of public services because rising incomes meant that they could substitute the missing services with their own private solutions. Having done that, politics became a means to achieve other outcomes — those unrelated to market failures. Voting apathy never meant political apathy.See this from the Exit, Voice, Loyalty thesis. Loyalty makes exit difficult. So the median Indian voter never really exited from Indian politics and instead chose to voice concerns unrelated to government provision of basic services.My second hypothesis is more charitable to the Indian voter. I call it the expanding moral arc thesis. It is based on the book The Moral Arc by Michael Shermer. The book argues that the moral arc is continuously expanding because of science and reason.The key insight for us is that Indian politics is being played out in the background of this increasing moral arc. This makes the Indian developmental challenge possibly more moral but definitely less fast. The inequality narrative in India is a reflection of this expanding moral arc. The government’s role in India is seen as a moral project, not a utilitarian one and hence we are okay to give its record on fixing market failures a free pass.(Originally published at express.thinkpragati.com on April 2, 2019)HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] Systematic Inequality and American Democracy by Danyelle Solomon, Connor Maxwell, and Abril Castro published by the Centre for American Progress[Article] David Brooks on social trust and moral convulsions in America[Video] This discussion on Raghuram Rajan’s The Third Pillar: How Markets and the State Leave the Community Behind is worth a watch.

The U.S. trails most developed countries in voter turnout. The thought that your vote doesn’t matter, or that there’s no good choice - some say that thought is manufactured or perpetuated to prevent people from exercising their power. Some say voting is not fun. Stuart and Logan discuss voter apathy, voter ho-hum, and creative solutions to election spectators.  They talk with Mark Rosenberg, aka Winkel, from The Voter Party.

SHOW NOTES https://thefedorachronicles.com/podcast/2020-10-14-voter-appathy.html

On this special episode of The Fedora Chronicles Radio Show, Jason Cousineau and Eric Fisk tackle the difficult topic - why don't more Americans vote? Could it be the plague of horrible candidates who are out of touch with the working and middle classes? Could it be that both the Republican and the Democrat parties are seen as corrupt, populated with corrupt elected officials whose behavior is dictated by their campaign donors and special interest groups? Or could it be the rampant voter shaming - as if there's something wrong with you on every physical, emotional and spiritual level if you don't vote the "correct" way as if voting you are conscious is a wasted vote?

AMERICA'S "VAPID" NON-VOTING ELECTORATE - U GUYS R A BIG FAT BUNCH OF "NOTHING"!      

Welcome to Independent Underground Radio LIVE - MICHIGAN'S TOP POLITICO PODCAST - Today's Special Episode will air at 9 pm ET. Does our media play a role in the extreme apathy of the National and Michigan's voting population. During the 2014 General Election, voter participation was verified to be at the lowest level since World War II. Meanwhile in Michigan, less than 40% of eligible voters bothered to show up at the polls. However, did the constant stream of Bad News, whether it was Ebola or Congressional Dreadlock with the President reported night after night -- have voters not care want happened or who won on November 4th? Meanwhile in Michigan, does the results of November 4 prove its time for radicial change for State Democrats or continue the same structure with extreme losses to boot?   Independent Underground Radio LIVE (IURL) FEATURED FOUR YEAR ON BTR -Progressive Talk Radio- podcast based out of Ann Arbor covering Michigan and National Politics, breaking news and more.

Ever since 1778 when Thomas Jefferson, revising the laws of Virginia, wrote something called a Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge, there's been an ongoing debate about how to make sure people know what they need to know to participate fully as citizens of this democracy.As is so often the case with Jefferson, his ideas and words seem visionary and eternal until you poke around in them a little bit and then it gets more complicated especially vis-a-vis who he thought was really fit to lead the American people.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a movement going down that is being swept up under the medias proverbial carpet. This movement is growing larger by the day. This movement represents the best interest of about 99% of the countries population..hell the WORLDS population for that matter. It doesn't have a lot of funding. It doesn't have a whole bunch of super star supporters (although a few have shown face and endorsed it). This movement is the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement and I can think of a better one to support here on K-100 Radio. To keep it simple and plain this is a growing group of people who feel like the big banks and financial industry collapse of 2008 are major reasons that this countries economy is on a bad down slope. We can blame PLENTY of people for this from POLITICIANS, to VOTER APATHY, and CORPORATIONS and LOBBYIST, and more. The simple truth they preach: AMERICA IS NO LONGER A COUNTRY FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE...IT IS FOR THE CORPORATIONS AND RAN BY THEM! This can NOT be argued when you look at the de-regulation and laws that have been passed in this country over the past 3 decades. CAPITALISM SUCKS and thats just all to it! The once almighty dollar and the pursuit of it by big business has become the focal point of our political leaders. OCCUPY WALL STREET is a movement that want to expose and end the tyranny of big business first and citizens last mentality that has corrupted our government. So why wouldn't K-100 Radio support that! Tune in!

Michael White talks to MPs, voters, campaigners and experts prior to the referendum on the alternative vote system on 5 May

The mid-term elections for the year 2010 are arguably the most critical of this young century. The age of Obama has produced circumstances and unintended consequences that none of us could have foreseen. In this upcoming election, every vote counts in a way and manner that has perhaps never occurred before. At stake is the direction of a nation in which the pundits, 24 hour news cycle, talk radio, internet blogs, special interest groups and the established political parties have failed to act in the best interest of the public good. Sitting out this election by not voting is not the best way to make your voice and our community voices heard. We'll talk about early voting, absentee voting, voting on election day and what are the individual responsibilities of American Citizens relative to voting in a free, democratic, representative democracy.
