VOTING

 Four Million Denied Voting Rights Due to a Felony Conviction

Fair Vote-  A new Citizen Data poll finds 47% of American voters feel they voted for the lesser of two evils in at least one election this year. The findings suggest that even though Americans want more choices at the ballot box, they’re afraid of wasting their vote on a candidate who can’t win or supporting a potential “spoiler” – a problem ranked choice voting would solve.

In the poll, young voters were the most likely to say they voted for the lesser of two evils in the 2024 elections, with 50% of Gen Z and 53% of Millennials saying they did so. Black (49%) and Asian American (54%) voters are the most likely of any racial group to feel they voted for a lesser evil. At least 40% of voters across all demographic groups feel they voted for a lesser evil this year.
