1: Did you vote in the recent Midterm election and why or why not
Yes. Why would I pass up the opportunity to be able to give my opinion on how I want things done?
2: would you support making voting easier how would you go about it/why not
Not really. Voting is already extremely easy. I voted using mail this year, the ballot was shipped right to my house, I filled it out, and stuck it in the mailbox. I literally didn't even need to go to the polls.
3: should there be incentives to vote such as tax breaks?
No. If someone doesn't want to vote, don't force them to.
4: how do you prepare for an election/get informed
Information is provided at the time you vote. For me, an entire portfolio of information concerning everything on the ballot was included with the voting form. Aside from the fact that I already know about a lot of things going on at my local government level by paying half attention while I walk around, that was pretty helpful.
5:how would you encourage others to vote in future elections or should we not
I don't see why people need to be encouraged to vote. If they think their opinion is that worthless, then they shouldn't need to be coerced into voting. Leave voting to the people who actually care, that way results aren't muddied by people who really don't care but just vote one way or the other.
