Welcome to the Thoughts of Stephanie M. Bennett! Beware, this is totally still a work in progress and I'm just trying to gather my thoughts into something that makes sense. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. :)
Intro/Summary: I am going to talk about the history of voting in the USA and specifically look at the college vote (% of college students who have voted in 1972, once the voting age dropped to 18 to the 2010 election).
Background/Problems: Intro HB 1355 and how it came to be (ie 2000 election and the problems that occurred). Talk about how it "could" restrict college students from voting (ie provisional ballots). Does civic education play a role here? I'm not sure--still investigating that. Tie in Florida's Civics Health Index score? What happened in 2010 and 2008 when college students tried to vote on campus' across the state?
Solution: How can we ensure that college students cast regular ballots at the polls? What can the university system do to ensure that college students know about this law before trying to cast a ballot at a polling station in their college town? How does civic education in high school play a role?
What do you think so far? Is this a bunch of ramblings that makes no sense?? Any feedback is appreciated.
:)
