Despite the success of Open Primaries and Ranked Choice Voting, voter turnout remains low. Professor Ester Fuchs discusses the need for education - for community based organizations, neighborhood groups to support voter registration and to help reconnect people to the political process, noting that our system of government relies on the people's vote. Fuchs explores the polarization between urban and rural communities; the lack of federal support for housing and asylum seekers.
