Group 1
- voters aged 65+ have the highest current voter turnout
- people with a higher education vote more
Group 2 (team awesome)
-the 2020 election had the highest voter turnout in years
- it is really important that we get everyone out to vote
Group 3 (so what)
- Voter turnout for the ages 45-65 is dropping
- The older generations political topics and old president are not relatable to the younger generations.
Group 4
- people don't always want to vote because they think it is too complicated
- as people get older, they are more likely to vote
Group 5 (my group / Isabel's group)
-female voter turnout has been higher then male since 1978

- Voter turnout numbers per state are much lower then the actual eligible voter population in the state
Group 7
-people are more likely to vote if there are big issues important to them

Team Awesome: young people show growth in voting turn out rates.
older you get more likely you are to vote

# data[].attributes.body
Group Three:
Older ages vote more and they have more time and are maybe more educated.
We need to try to get younger people out to vote because as we get older our cognition goes down.
How can we get younger generations to vote? Do campaigns such as Rock the Vote. Teach young generations to elect politicians in schools to get practice voting.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 4 If issues arise people are more likely to vote. Some people don't vote because voting is too complicated for some people. Hispanic people need to vote more. Need to diversey the government. -Calvin

# data[].attributes.body
Group1: Ages 65+ are more likely to get out and vote, this could be due to that they have been alive for longer and have more experience with the voting process.
Group5: Females have always had a higher voter turnout than males, females want to diversify the government. White voters have only been surpassed by black voters once in 2012, however we need to find a was to encourage all races to vote more.
Group6: We need to figure out a way to get more people in all age groups to vote. Only around 50% or less of the registered voting population actually votes in most states. In Montana wealthier people care more about voting.
Group Awesome: The percent of young voters has slowly grown since 2012. Although voting percents have seen spikes and drops, overall all race groups have slowly grown since 2000. So many more young people have become involved in politics in recent years, if the voting process was taught is school more we could increase voting among younger people.
Team3: Although in the past older people have voted more, younger people and other age groups have slowly began to vote more. Younger people are being urged to vote much more now than they were in the past. Politicians can encourage young people to vote by bringing up issues that are pertinent to younger people.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1
- important to increase voter turnout
-age group 65+ has the highest percentage of voter
Group 5
-female voter turnout is higher than males
-people who are wealthy vote more than people who are in poverty
Team Awesome
- younger people between 18-29 are less likely to vote.
- the black and white population is more likely to vote than Hispanic and other populations
Group 4
-More people are registered to vote than actually vote
-lowest percentage of people who voted was in 1996
Group 3
- people ages 65+ vote more than younger people
- people ages of 30-44 are starting to vote more and older people less

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6 continued: People who make more money vote more and this could be because they are business owners and care about the economics so you need to vote to keep the economy good. Another reason is because the wealthy have a better education.
Group 2/Team awesome:
The younger demographic is voting less then the others and they are the largest. So it is important to get this age range to vote more. Since 2012 the percentage has gone up.
Voting rate for white people has always been the highest so we need to get more diversity in voting.
There was a large spike in 1992 and from this we can infer that when a event happens, we tend to come together and vote more.

# data[].attributes.body
1.
-People 65 and older have a higher probability than other age groups for voting
-This is due to a higher education or more time to develop political stance
6.
-Voter races vary depending on the candidates/issues
-The percentage of people voting gets lower the older you get (specifically after 44)
Team Awesome:
-Since 1980, voters 65+ have voted more than other demographics, at around 70-80 percent
-The youngest demographic of 18-29 has increased since 2012
-In 1992 there was a spike for voter turnout in all races
1.
-Female and male turnout follow the same pattern ie: if female turnout increases, male does as well
-More diverse representation in the government could encourage minorities to increase their voter turnout
3.
-Older people vote more due to higher education or simply more time to develop a steady political stance
-Older people also don't have a certain relatability to encourage younger generations to vote

# data[].attributes.body
Important that young people get out to vote more. Highest turn out vote happend in 2020 presidential election.- Calvin

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6:
- No obvious patterns in voters, depends on candidates and current issues/ events.
- In Montana, voter turnout for wealthier people is higher. However we need to encourage people of all age groups, races, etc. to get out and vote as only 50% of the population in most states votes.
Group 5:
- People who live above the poverty line are more likely to vote, more time, more likely to be a business owner, taxes affect them more, etc.
- Female voter turnout is usually larger than male turn out, female voters take advantage of their right to vote because they don't want old, white men in congress that will make decisions for us about our own bodies, etc.
Group 2:
- Older generations are more likely to vote, this is maybe due to more time on their hands, more education and care about politics.
- Voter turnout has always been higher for whites, although in the recent years, turnout for all races has increased.
Group 4:
- More people are registered vote than people who actually vote.
- Voter turnout increases as age increases
Group 3:
- Older ages vote more, this is possibly because they just have more time on their hands, they're retired, etc. They also have had more experience, more time and experience to educate them self.
- Make it easier to register to vote (have it available at highschools and colleges)

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6:
- The percentage of people that vote gets lower as your age rises. Only 43.3% of people ages 18-44 voted.
- White people are more likely to vote than any other race
- Every year there has been more female voters than men.
Group 5:
- Female turnout might have to do with the majority of our government being old white men.
-Female and male turnout in the presidential elections has increased since 2014.
Team Awesome:
- The younger demographic is the only age group to grow in amount of voters since 2012.
- The percentage of younger people that vote is more important than the elderly's vote because there isn't as many people in that age group.
- Voting rate for white people has always been the highest.
- Since 2000 the voting population has been increasing
Group 4:
- More people registered to vote than actually voted.
- If female turnout increases so will male voters.
- 76% of people ages 64-74 voted.
- African American reached the highest amount of votes in 2012.
Group 3:
- Older people have more time and have been involved in the government longer than younger people.
- Older politicians are not as relatable to younger people.
-Teach young voters to elect politics in schools who will focus on issues that are pertinent to younger generations.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6:
There is no pattern with voting rates  for the different races. The percentage of people voting gets lower as you age rises. It's interesting how few people vote from Arizona compared to other largely populated states.
Group 5:
-Female turnout for voting has always been higher than male and continues to increase in congressional and presidential.
-Over time the government has become more diverse and includes more women and young people.
-Takeaway: How can we get all the population to feel like their voice matters.
Group 4:
-There are more people who are registered to vote than who actually vote because it's such a complicated process and some people don't care as much in certain situations.
-Older people tend to vote more, and to get younger people to vote more we need to talk about topics that affect young people too.
-Younger people are starting to vote more because of social media.
-To get more races to vote is to have more diversity in the government which will motivate hispanic and black people to vote more.
Group 3:
-Older ages vote more because they have time on their hands and have been around long enough to understand and experience voting and the government.
-Politics need to do more to get more people to relate to them.
-Campaigns should be more focused on younger generations because they will be affected more than older people.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1
-older people are more likely to vote
-My age if they went to vote more could swing elections
Group 5
-more females feel the need to vote since they didn't always have that right
- More females vote than males every year
Team awesome
- Millennials make up 16.2 percent of the total vote
-The youngest group of voters has grown since 2012
Team 4
-Young people may find voting intimidating so finding a way to make it less intimidating will bring more voters.
-Only 55% of high school graduates in 2020 voted
Team 3
-Older voters seem to have more idea about politics which could be the main reason why they vote more than younger
-Younger candidates could be a way to bring younger people into voting because it makes them more relatable.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6:
-no pattern to voter turnout by race
-the largest group of voter turnout was 18-44 for Montana, California, Pennsylvania, New York, and Arizona
Group 5:
-female registration and turnout is higher than male in both congressional and presidential elections
-the voter turnout by the state isn't generally reaching over 50%
Group 4:
- in 1992 on the basis of sex, race, and age voter turnout increased
-voting rates of african americans reached highest point in 2012
Group 1:
-people 65+ vote about 10% more than people ages 30 to 44
-politicians who are much older, may be hard to relate to

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1
1-it is important to increase voter turnout, and there are different age groups that vote more-ages 65+ is the highest percent of voters.
2-that age group is more educated, or have more time, or for another reason that is the reason they have a higher percentage of voters.
Group 5
1-female voter turnout is higher than male and always has been higher; it continues to increase.-more educated/mature? issues more directly affect them? etc.
2-voting turnout seems to differ based on circumstance however white people have historically had a higher voter turnout than african americans-how can more people from every group vote? great total voter turnout?
Group (Team Awesome)
1- 18-29 which is the youngest demographic of voters and they are the least likely to turn out for voting-that group has grown since 2012 in percent that votes
2-black and white population is more likely to vote than hispanic and other races. In 1992 voting population jumped for all races/since 2000 the voting population has been increasing for all races.
Group  4
1-important to get people out to vote-intimidated by voting-wording is hard?process is complicated so people can just give up. issues/candidates that people like or is important to them.
2-older people tend to vote more-find ways to get younger generations to vote. Use topics they are passionate about, more education of how to vote or how to register to vote. Why are new high school graduates only 55% voting? Social Media as a form of education for younger generations-verify that information somewhere else?
3-Having minority candidates and representatives could influence the and bring more minorities for example hispanics to vote. What issues could bring them out to vote-deportation as a person of hispanic descent.  Historically with president Obama running and rerunning African Americans voted more.
Group 3
1-reasons older people vote more could be they have more time on their hands possibly retired, they could also have been around the government and know the ins and out more, more firmly developed beliefs and issues. an issue with that is that they aren't as in tune with the countries issues.
2-What does a politician need to do to be relatable to the younger generation and older generations together. Age? Gender? issues? political Party? Ideas-rock the vote for pop culture-campaigns should focus on younger generations who have more voting ahead of them instead of older generations who have been voting for awhile.
Group
1-
2-

# data[].attributes.body
Group 5:
- Female turnout for elections is always higher than male and it increases over time. This could be because our government lacks diversity and so women have the want to change that.
- If their was a more diverse group of people representing America then it would inspire younger generations to participate in voting.
- People of different races have a lower voting rate.
- How can we get everyone to vote?

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6:
No pattern to voter turnout, varies every year.
largest group was also largest turnout.          regardless of amount of people in state percent of voter turnout was about 50% for all the state listed.
Group 5:
female turnout in both presidential and congressional elections is greater than male turnout.
how can we get all groups to vote more??
People are more likely to vote on policy that matters to them.
People Who have and make more money vote more.
Group Awesome:
Younger demographic is less likely to vote. Important to get them out to vote as they are a large group.
voting rate for black americans dropped by a lot in 2016.
young people are invested so it won't take much to convince them to vote.
Group: 4
People may be nervous or scared to vote. When candidates are good speakers or something major is happening in the country can influence people to vote.
all races should have a higher percent of voter turnout. diversity in presidency may increase voter turnout in minority groups.
Group 3:
Older people vote more because they have more time on there hands. they have also been around the government longer so they understand how it works better.
Younger people are voting more as issues matter to them more.
Group 7:

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6- Inconsistencies with voter turnout per year. More people are eligible to vote than people who actually vote.
Group 5- Female turnout for both congressional and presidential elections has been higher than male. Haven't had a consistent voter turnout for any race.
Team Awesome- 18-29 year olds are the least likely to vote they are also the largest demographic so they need to vote. Voting rate for white people has been statistically higher could possibly be because there is a higher white population in America, there is also a spike in voting rate across all ages and races in 1992.
Group 4- People may be intimidated by voting witch could possibly lead to a lower voter turnout. Both male and female voter turnout and voter registration follow the same trends. Older generations vote more than younger generations. Overall we should get more people to vote.
Group 3- Older generations vote more, this could possibly be because they have more time on their hands. Younger generations need to vote, we need to find ways to encourage and connect with younger generations.

# data[].attributes.body
Group two: Youngest demographic is the largest group number wise, but the smallest percent to vote. Since 2012, the youngest groups percent has continued to grow.
Group three: Older generations are voting more than younger generations because they have more time on their hands. Through time though, we have seen younger age groups to go up, especially during presidential elections.
Group four: Both male and female percent for registration and turnout follow the same pattern. Social media has a big impact on how younger generations vote, if they even vote. Voter turnout for African Americans raised above Caucasian during Obama's presidency, so if we had more diversity in government maybe more Hispanic and Other voting might increase.
Group five: Female turnout for congressional and presidential elections have always been higher. From 1993-1996 female and male turnout in presidential election has decreased by 10%.
Group six: Depending on election year, voter turnout by race is different, there's not a consistent turn out. Largest voter turnout,  age wise is 18-44. Many politicians are far older than eligible voters making them unrelatable to the younger generations.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1:
- there's an increase in millennial voting and a decrease in older people voting
- Generally White people vote a lot more than other races, there also was a huge drop in voting by people of color.

Group 6:
- The Black voting rate dropped by 10% from 2012 to 2016
- It's surprising how few people vote in each state. Generally voter turnout decreases as age increases.

Group 5:
- the gap in voter turnout between men and women is gradually increasing. Voter turnout for men is decreasing and the voter turnout for women is increasing.
- Historically voter turnout for white people is a lot higher than any other race

Team Awesome:
- The younger demographic is less likely to turn out and vote
- in 1992 the voting rate jumped for all races

# data[].attributes.body
Team 6:
- Different Voting rates by race
- Black voting rates have dropped in recent years
- Voter turnout is much lower than the state population
- Females have turned out more than males and that gap is increasing.
Team 4:
- Lowest percentage of voter turnout in very recent history was in 1996
- Both male and female turnouts follow each other
- Hispanic voters are much lower than that of White or Black voters
Team 3
- Older people vote more than younger people because they have been around the block a few times and know and have seen the importance of voting.
- Politicians who are much older than people who are eligible to vote are not relatable in a way that gets young people excited to vote.

# data[].attributes.body
Females are lower turnout than males. Females are starting to vote more now that they can vote more. Population could be diverse more. Most people in goverment are old white males in the US goverment.- Calvin

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1: ages 65+ are most likely to vote these days.
Hispanic groups are less likely to vote.

Group 6: depending on elections there are inconsistancys to voter turn out by race.
white voters usually vote the most.

Group 5:Female voting turnout has been
higher since 1978. Female voters typically take advantage of being able to vote and wish to make changes from older white men in congress

# data[].attributes.body
group 1-older people are more likely to vote
-older people are more experienced in the voting process
group 5-more females feel the need to vote since they didn't always have that right
- looking to diversify out government as far as age, race, gender
team awesome-younger people voting turnouts are rising

group 4-people might be scared or intimidated to vote
-when topics are interesting or important people might feel the need to vote
-educate the younger generation on how to vote and not what side to vote for
group 3-younger people have more experience in modern issues
-making voting easier could increase turnout

# data[].attributes.body
Women voting adds to the amount of women in government, because they are historically underrepresented. since 1992, all voting is down 10%.
Max F

# data[].attributes.body
Group 6
Voter turnout seems nearly random. it all depends on who is running. covid 19 laws and immigration are issues that candidates press pretty hard. females have a higher rate in voting because they didnt always have the right to vote
Group 1
From 1992- 1996 we saw a simultaneous decrease in voting
Spike increase by all ages in 1992

voting spikes are seen with times of positive polls for presidents and negative polls
Group 5
white voters have been historically more represented by percentage than minority groups
african americans in the past have been lawfully prevented from voting by using biased testing system
group 5
voter turnout has increased for african americans in recent years, in 2008 and 2012 african american votes spiked in large part due to the first african american president.
in 2008 and 2012 african american voters were higher than white voters
Biggest takeaway: we need to get more people to vote in order to get a more accurate representation of voter opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1: The younger population 18-29 tend to vote and regasture the least amount. While 65+ tends to be the most active in voting. The so what? is older people 65+ are more experianced there for feel more comfortable voting.
Group 6: 65% of the white community voted in 2016. There is no pattern to voter turn out, it is different every time depending on the canidates. The so what? The people running influence the race and age voter turn out.
Group 5) Women tend to registure and vote more then men. Male turn out is consistantly lower in all age groups. The so what? women may turn out more in order to have someone who better represeants women as a whole.
Group 7.)  Women tend to registure and vote more then men. Male turn out is consistantly lower in all age groups. And older citizens tend to show out to vote more. Overall how is we get more people out to vote.
Group 4.) How female registartion is much higher then men's. And how in certain years all voting rates have increased. SO what? maybe the reason more people registure than actually vote is because the process can be long and complicated that people just don't go through with it.
Group 3.) One of the reason why the older generations might vote more is because older people are typically retiered, have more time on their hands, and they have been around this sytsem much longer. More young people tend to show out during elections and not mid terms.

# data[].attributes.body
Group Six:
-Depending on the candedits, the voting rates of race can be inconsistent.
-Important or strongly opinionated topics made the percentage of people voting go up no matter what race they are.
- I thought it was interesting how they talked about how ages 18- 44 had the largest voting population.
- Politicians are looking to get everyone to vote whether it be gender or age or race.
- Females may have a higher rate in voting because they didn't always have the right to.
- So many people register to vote but don't actually vote.

# data[].attributes.body
No pattern to voter turn out. Depends on the caniadtes. Issues are Covid 19 and Immagration etc. Males have bigger turn out more than females. -Calvin

# data[].attributes.body
! how they could incrase voter turnout rates
older they age higher the chance of voting. they have more experiance voting and this leads to higher turnout rate for higher ager=.

# data[].attributes.body
increase younger people to vote more. 65 old people know more about voting. Now more about platform. Make more young people to vote. Calvin

# data[].attributes.body
Group One: One thing that I noticed was that 65 + people are the most likely to get out and vote. This could be because they can often times be more educated and they have lived through more.
Another thing they said that I thought was important was that they wanted to get the younger generation to vote so that the percentage of our generation in terms of voting, goes up.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1: 1. People age 65+ are more likely to vote than other are groups. 2. This is due to a lack of appropriate platforms for younger generations
Group 6: 1. Depending on the election, there are different numbers of voters by each ethnic group 2. It often depends on the candidates
Group 5: 1. Female voting turnout is higher than male turnout 2. However, both male and female voter turnout has increased since 2014.
Group 2: 1. White voter eligibility is decreasing. 2. In general, minorities are less engaged in voting.
Group 7: 1. Younger age groups are less likely to vote even if they are eligible. 2. Since 2012, younger voters have been increasing.
Group 4: 1. The highest percentage of people voting was in 1992. 2. More people are registered to vote than actually vote.
Group 3: My group.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 1
- older the age, the more people want to vote b/c older people are more educated/experienced with voting and party platforms.
- the country needs to focus more on getting more 18-29-year-olds to vote. How will the country do that? What issues? What is the motivation? (This also goes for people of different races.)
- there could be a language barrier for voting. How does the government help with this?
Group 6
- Depending on elections the voter turnout is not consistent.
--> based on race. The voter turnout is dependent on issues/candidates.
- There are significantly fewer people who vote than the population. What issues make people vote (depending on age group).
- An increase in voting after age 29 because people 30 and older have more settled down lives to research how to vote. Or there are more factors that affect their lives when they are 30 years old and above.
Group 5
- Female turnout for pres/midterm elections is always higher than female turnout. This could be b/c govt made up of old white men, so they want to change that. (Not just rich/male/white. Want to have female and more racial diversity.)
- Have more diversity in the government could encourage more people (especially younger groups) to vote. How can the average citizen participate more in politics?
- How can we get all groups to participate more in voting?
- People above the poverty line vote more than below because the wealthy could have more time to vote, fund the campaign, and could be business owners.
Team Awesome
- more young people need to vote because there are more younger people and older people
- There is growth in voting for the age group 18 to 29
- spike in 1992 for all races, ages, sex
Group 3
- old people have been around long enough to understand what is happening in the government, but younger people have started to go up
- How is the government going to get more younger people to vote? Education? Encourage?
- Having more people who are older and white could be less in tune with what is happening in the country.
- How do candidates be more relatable?
- Campaigns need to be focused on younger generations
