I also learned that the percentage of Black race went up during Obama's election, because Obama was the first African American president of the USA.]]> 2018-08-30 13:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276574638 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276575764 I thought it was very interesting that people with more income vote the most. I thought that the less income people would want to vote more because I thought a lot more effects them such as the amount they get paid, the benefits they are allowed to get because of their pay, etc. ]]> 2018-08-30 13:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276575764 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276580000 I thought that it was interesting that people 65 years and older voted the most because they get the most benefits, like social security and health care. I also found that people with a higher education and have the most income vote more than the people that don't have a GED and less income.]]> 2018-08-30 13:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276580000 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276603886 I thought it was interesting that hispanic and asian people barely every voted. They are citizens of the US, but they aren't voting. It made me think why. Not to mention, only 5% of latino's voted in 2016. After learning about this I will probably be doing research to find out why they aren't voting. ]]> 2018-08-30 14:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276603886 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276604318 The fact that the growing trend in voting turnouts is decreasing for white men in particular is interesting. The minority groups in America are coming out to vote more as of late.]]> 2018-08-30 14:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276604318 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276605880 The fact that most people who is 18-25 doesn't really vote, is interesting because it shows how many people do't know or don't wanna.]]> 2018-08-30 14:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276605880 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276605962 I thought it was interesting that those with low income, education, and age voted less. It is mostly due to different focuses. Those with low income and education have to focus more on work to, at least, make enough to live. Those aged 18 to 25 that goes to college most likely have to worry about paying off any student loans before worrying about politics. ]]> 2018-08-30 14:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276605962 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276606225 I thought it was interesting that when women could vote the overall score between the two genders women voted to most over time. Also I thought it was interesting in other people's perspectives for not voting, like the American Idol picture showed us.]]> 2018-08-30 14:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276606225 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276606504 I thought that the information that the graphs provided indicated that those who are registered to vote with low income, education, and younger in age, just don't seem to care enough to vote.]]> 2018-08-30 14:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276606504 brittanyagudgeon https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276608969 It is interesting to think that 18-20 year olds are "losers" due to them having such a low percentage on voting.

You would think that men would have a higher interest in voting rather than women.]]> 2018-08-30 15:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276626204 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276633604 I found it very interesting to see the different graphs instead of just being told the total number for our year only. I loved how we saw how different races differ. I liked how African Americans and women exploded the rates when they were finally able to vote (amendments 15 and 19). 
I agree with Kevin, I also found it very interesting the realist factors of those who did not vote and those who just do not care about voting.]]> 2018-08-30 15:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276633604 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276778874 I found the information intriguing. Especially how the data showed that the differences were mostly even across the board.]]> 2018-08-31 00:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276778874 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276858929 I found the information interesting and informative. I enjoyed looking at the different graphs and making conclusions about them. 
I agree with Racheal about how the voting numbers changed after amendments 15 and 19 were passed allowing more people to vote.]]> 2018-08-31 11:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276858929 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859167 Were not all losers. What I took away from this is that the younger kids were uneducated and doesn't know the importance of voting. If the younger people voted as much as the older people that the United States would be completely different. Such as college being free. ]]> 2018-08-31 11:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859167 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859215 I find it interesting that 18-24 year olds have the lowest voting turnout, however I also find it somewhat unsurprising. Based on other factors for voting (finances, transportation to the polls, etc) it's not as surprising to know that younger voters do not want to vote. I also feel that younger voters might have a higher disapproval of the running candidates, making them less likely to vote.]]> 2018-08-31 11:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859215 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859234 I took from form the articles that people that are younger don't seem to care enough due to ignorance or they just aren't educated on how important it is. ]]> 2018-08-31 11:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859234 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859406 I found that politicians don't care to cater to us because we don't vote as much. My reasoning for why we don't vote is because a lot of people don't know how, it could also be because voting doesn't have benefit to younger people, because we don't vote for the politicians to cater to us. ]]> 2018-08-31 12:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859406 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859440 I found out that the younger generation doesn't vote as much as the older generation when we need to be the one voting as it will affect us the most. ]]> 2018-08-31 12:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859440 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859486 One thing I took away from todays lesson was the turn out from the African American community when there was a black president in running. I feel like when one culture feels strongly about who’s running that’s when we see a bigger impact in the numbers!  ]]> 2018-08-31 12:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276859486 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276860025 I found it very obvious a lot of younger people don't vote as they don't really care as they are too busy starting their lives and don't have time to pay attention to politics, While older people do and they have been around longer so though they may be in a certain political party but they can make more informed choices.]]> 2018-08-31 12:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276860025 https://padlet.com/wshafer/c9ziy2z31evn/wish/276860590 I found it interesting that the females turn out in the voting was higher than the males.
