“A good start to increasing voter turnout is to stop disenfranchising half of the voters.”
Derek Mitchell
“A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.”
Dan Quayle
“Voters are starting to get together to keep Wal-Marts out of their town so that their economies don't get wrecked. The local elections are where you handle rent control, living wages and medical marijuana laws. Few people vote in local elections, but if more people like us vote, we have a far better chance at getting cool people and cool propositions passed. If you don't show up, you can bet your sweet ass that the Bush gang and the Christian coalition will.”
Jello Biafra
“I believe word of mouth is the best thing any SGA member can do to increase voter turnout. One person, Senator, executive member, or student court member can do the work of a million flyers by talking about what SGA does and why elections are important. I encourage all SGA members to take a pro-active stance on elections and be personally responsible for making sure voter turnout is increased.”
Matt Rankin
“I'm very pleased. The voter turnout was far higher than I anticipated. The conduct of the County Board in general does matter to the voters. I can't really attribute it to any other single issue, other than that.”
Paul Zeller
“We've had an amazing response. You'll see an increase in Hispanic voter turnout.”
Summer Luciano
“It's interesting to witness the suppression and acceleration of voter turnout, depending on who's pulling the strings.”
