"'In years past, we’ve had issues in Fort Peck a lot, where they’ve run out of ballots or they’ve closed early, or people decide they’re going to take a long lunch break in the five hours the office is open,' Berry said."

"Average voters probably can't even name all of their representatives, let alone explain how the state's finances work. Yet they are called upon to make complex fiscal decisions based usually on campaign mailers and ballot titles."

But the reasons people give for why they vote (and why everyone else should too) are flawed, unconvincing, and sometimes even dangerous."

"If you believe your vote is likely to be ill-informed or that a particular race is likely to yield an unfair, unjust, or otherwise bad outcome, you should refrain from participating in a collectively harmful activity, thus keeping your hands clean. Get-out-the-vote campaigns promote precisely the kind of morally condemnable ignorant voting we should be discouraging."

But owing to the property qualifications required, it is probable that, during the first twenty or thirty years under the Constitution, not more than one-tenth, fifteenth, or perhaps twentieth of the whole population (black and white, men, women, and minors) were permitted to vote. Consequently, so far as voting was concerned, not more than one-tenth, fifteenth, or twentieth of those then existing, could have incurred any obligation to support the Constitution. "

Some of these reasons may include complications with registration, feeling like they do not have a voice, and lack of representation in government.

"Legal obstacles are an important part of the nonvoter story, but there are many millions of Americans who can vote and yet choose not to. Their reasons are vast: Some are apathetic or too busy. Others don't like their choices, they don't think their vote matters, they think the system is corrupt, or they don't think they know enough to vote."

It also seemed like many of the articles in newspapers discussed people in favor of the initiative.
