Here is a site that has some interesting "statistics" for voters:
Voting Statistics | Statistic Brain
Toward the bottom there are other choices of different statistical groupings all to do with voters.
For those who know this stuff cold it may be old hat. But for some I suspect it could be a revelation. It all depends how well read on the subject a person is or is not.
What is perfectly clear is the potential to create a new influence in the voting pattern is within the almost 50% who choose not to vote.
If we want to make a difference in 2016 we must all push family and friends to get out and vote. There has to be a way to inspire some of the indifferent folks to get out and vote. |
IMO There will be such enthusiasm for voting for the first woman for President of the United States that there will be a record turn-out in 2016.
This enthusiasm is not only coming from younger women, but also from older women who want to see a woman elected before they die.
Women are the largest voting block in the country, and President Obama carried the women's vote by 20 points over Mitt Romney. The margin should be even larger with Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket.
