AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
>> THANK YOU, NOW EVERYBODY GO
VOTE.
>> Frederica: WISCONSIN LEADS
THE NATION IN A RANKING OF YOUTH
VOTERS THAT ARE LIKELY TO
INFLUENCE THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS
ACCORDING TO A TUFT'S RESEARCH
GROUP SAYING WISCONSIN YOUTHS
HAVE HAD ABOVE AVERAGE VOTER
ENGAGEMENT IN THE RECENT
COMPETITIVE ELECTIONS.
WE TRAVELED ACROSS THE STATE IN
LATE SEPTEMBER TO FIND OUT WHAT
KINDS OF ISSUES THEY'RE THINKING
ABOUT AND HOW THEY VIEW THEIR
NEWLY ACQUIRED RIGHT TO VOTE.
>> EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT VIEWS
BUT THE OPTION THE ABILITY TO
VOTE IS WAY TO GET YOUR VIEW
OUT, YOUR DECISION NO MATTER
WHAT IT IS.
>> I FEEL LIKE IF ONLY ONE TYPE
OF PEOPLE VOTE YOU CAN'T GET
EVERYONE'S OPINION AND THEN THAT
WON'T BE EQUAL.
>> IF I COULDN'T VOTE I COULDN'T
TRY TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON WHAT'S
GOING ON AROUND ME AND IF I
CAN'T MAKE AN IMPACT ON WHAT'S
GOING ON AROUND ME I'M JUST
LIVING HERE WITHOUT ANY SORT OF
ANYTHING GOING ON.
>> I'D SAY IT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE I THINK EVEN ONE PERSON
VOTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
>> THE RIGHT DO VOTE IS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE WITHOUT THE
RIGHT TO VOTE COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE OPPRESSED DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ORE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORWARD FOR
THEIR STORIES FOR THE PEOPLE
THEY ELECT TO OFFICE.
>> I THINK AS AN PERSON YOU'RE
NOT USING YOUR FULL FREEDOM AND
RIGHTS IF YOU DON'T VOTE.
HAVE YOU A SAY IN THE BIG
PICTURE AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN
GOVERNMENT AND USE THAT VOICE
BECAUSE IT DID MATTER.
