Voting: a simple act of optimism

Quoted: Connie Flanagan, associate dean in the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin, has seen it on the Madison campus. With new voter ID requirements, there was an urgency to get students registered.”The ’get out the Badger vote’ thing was this message that democracy means you have to do something,” she said. “There was really a sense of agency in the message, and a lot of it was really around how to do it. You can’t just assume you can go.”
