What makes voters want to vote? What makes them want to be engaged in a certain election versus another? Dr. Caroline Heldman from Occidental College in Los Angeles and Dr. David Adler from the Alturas Institute will explore the impacts of voter apathy in smaller states and those deemed “safe” in the presidential election, such as Idaho. The discussion will also touch on the different ways various groups feel disenfranchised to vote, even on local ballots.
