2008 Primary Turnout On Pace To Reach Record Highs
Curtis Gans of AU’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate analyzes the results
Voter turnout on Super Tuesday, and in earlier primaries, is on pace to break the record turnout seen during the 1972 presidential primaries. With 27 percent of eligible citizens voting in primaries so far, this year’s primary turnout will eclipse the 25.9 percent average recorded in 1972, according to a preliminary Presidential primary report issued today by American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate (CSAE).

New Survey Suggests that Voter IDs Are Not the Problem
American University’s Center for Democracy and Election Management sampled registered voters in three states
A new study by American University's Center for Democracy and Election Management (CDEM) finds, surprisingly, that only 1.2 percent of registered voters lack a government-issued photo ID, and more than two-thirds of all registered voters in the three states feel that the electoral system would be trusted more if people had to show an ID to vote.
