Hello! This post should be a bit briefer than my previous ones so far. I just want to reiterate the purpose of last week's primitive genre analysis and provide some more examples that I'll be inspecting in a matter of days.
To recap, I've been incredibly passionate about politics and voting from a young age, and my involvement with an on-campus student advocacy organization has only intensified such feelings! Thus I've decided to analyze U.S. voter registration forms to see if there are any implicit factors that may be leading to such low turnout. Of course, the optimal solution to low voter turnout would be automatic voter registration at birth, but until such a process comes into effect, we could devise optimized paper forms and/or other mediums through which to attract new voters. So then what examples will I cite for this, exactly? Well, as a Nutmegger, I've already used Connecticut's official voter registration form as a sort of standard-bearer. But of course, I need a bit more than that to create something insightful. Given my obligations as a full-time university student (and yours as humans who don't wish to be bored to death), I simply can't peruse every state's forms! Therefore, I'll focus upon some of the states that are most critical to our electoral process: our swing states. I know that swing state has quite a flexible defintion and that a given state's connotation as one could turn on a dime, so I'll be taking a look at some of the most populous and wide-ranging among the following historically consistent pendulum-shifters:
Once I become a bit less preoccupied and decide upon a small assortment of these states, I'll compile their official voter registration forms and include their PDFs within my genre analysis for reference. Look out for my in-depth post this Friday! That's about all I have for you today, and until next time, I'll leave you with a Melodramatic Mike Drop™!
