However, these laws are said to disproportionately affect elderly, minority, and low-income voters. According to the Brennan Center, about 11 percent of U.S. citizens, or roughly 21 million citizens, don’t have government-issued photo ID. A total of 36 states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, 35 of which are in force in 2020. The remaining 14 states use other methods to verify the identity of voters but the list of acceptable IDs varies substantially from state to state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Are Poll Closures?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve seen long lines outside of polling places, those may be caused by poll closures. This has been an increasing issue since the 2013 Supreme Court decision Shelby County v. Holder which removed provisions to the Voters Rights Act that required states and cities with a history of discriminatory practices to get approval from the federal government before making changes to voting laws and since the decision nearly 1700 polling places have closed across 13 states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Are Voter Purges?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voter purges are the act of removing ineligible voter registrations from the rolls, it’s meant to clean up the voter list. This happens when elected officials do “maintenance” and remove names because they moved, passed away, or didn’t vote in a certain number of prior elections.

However, these laws are said to disproportionately affect elderly, minority, and low-income voters. According to the Brennan Center, about 11 percent of U.S. citizens, or roughly 21 million citizens, don’t have government-issued photo ID. A total of 36 states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, 35 of which are in force in 2020. The remaining 14 states use other methods to verify the identity of voters but the list of acceptable IDs varies substantially from state to state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Are Poll Closures?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’ve seen long lines outside of polling places, those may be caused by poll closures.

When you go and cast your vote, you’re not really voting for the president, you’re actually voting for electors, who then go and vote for the president. There are a total of 538 electors. Each state (and the District of Columbia) gets at least three, and then the rest are based on the state’s population size, which is determined every 10 years by the U.S. census. In most states, it’s winner takes all. This means that the party that wins the state’s popular vote sends all of their electors to cast votes to elect the president.

On the one hand you had the Federalists, who thought Congress should elect the president, and on the other you had those who thought the president should be elected by popular vote. But both were a little problematic. If Congress elected the president then Congress would have way too much power and be vulnerable to corruption.

That said, historically speaking, people between the ages of 18-29 vote at substantially lower rates than every other age group.
