Windows and Mirrors - Generating Generational Voting? - Florence Sprague - October 2022

Do you vote? I hope that sounds like a silly question to ask of an LWV of Roseville Area member. How do you think of voting? Is it a right...a privilege...a responsibility...a duty...an opportunity...a power...a burden? Pointless?

Minnesota is proud of its high voter turnout in general elections.

But when one looks at the numbers by age, it is clear that we cannot stop promoting voting.
