Friday, February 08, 2008 Voter turnout up on Super Tuesday Voter turnout this past Super Tuesday was record-breaking as Americans turned out to vote in presidential primaries and caucuses across the country. According to Project Vote, a considerable portion of these voters were young voters or voters of color, two groups who have voted at low rates in the past. In an online statement by Project Vote board member Donna Massey, she said “the 2008 primary season demonstrates what we in the voting rights community have always understood: when candidates and campaigns engage voters on the issues, the voters show up and vote. And, when barriers to voting are dismantled, citizens come out to vote.” |
