Thank you for this article. After I retired, I joined the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County (WI). I am an active member. I have learned MUCH through the League. I am a volunteer on our League's Vote411 Team (see Vote411.org) and do other volunteer work to support our League. Our League is doing a lot of good work in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties.

I do still wonder if legislation could be passed to decrease the possibility of a takeover. America has an abysmally low percentage of participants. Nevertheless, I have been here longer than I have time left. I’m willing to shoulder a target in an effort to preserve democracy for my grandchildren.

I'm strongly in favor of mandatory voting. There are 21 countries doing it already.

I would agree with the addition of mandatory civics classes... how government works and your role as citizen.

Much harder to answer those sort of questions at your survey these days.

And I'm not sure which tribe that they put me in. I seem to have a readout for 7 of them.

You fit into 7 tribes? That is remarkable!

one or two probably accidentally. There were some that had no right answers.

I find no right answers tests all the time.
