Why Voters Don't Care
Josephson, Eric | October 13, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents the author's views on the apathy of voters in the U.S. Presidential elections. The apathy of most of our citizens toward national and international issues has remained undisturbed. A number of "crusaders" against mass indifference have concluded that if men and women are to learn how to play effective roles in the political process, they must first cope with problems of immediate local concern. Presumably, the Presidential election will generate some excitement, but not for long. Despite the earnest pleading of candidates, some thirty-five million potential voters will stay home on November 6, 1956.
