Why do you think turnout was so low
in last Tuesday’s election?

 |
There’s a lot of ignorance about the electoral process. Elections and voting aren’t presented to the people as being important.

I don’t get out to vote. I’m too busy. I don’t trust politicians. They make promises and they don’t deliver.

Maybe the people don’t know who to trust. There’s so much corruption all the way up to the White House.

People in the community lost faith in the councilors. Every year it’s promises and promises. Nothing gets done. I’m an ex-convict. My last conviction was 10 years ago. I can’t get a job.

I think it’s because people don’t trust the candidates. It was a shame. We’re losing out on a lot.

Because it was raining. Black people don’t like to go out in the rain to vote. I voted, but most people don’t think their vote counts, especially since Bush stole the election.
