3. Voter Turn-out is the Key

There is an election somewhere in the country, every week this year.

And so far, voter turn-out has been terrible.

Two weeks ago Wisconsin had just 8% voter turn-out, and last week L.A. broke a record for lowest voter turn-out ever for them.

Any one with ideas on how to increase voter turn-out in another state has an opportunity to test them every week, for the whole year.
