HELPING AMERICANS VOTE SINCE 2002
A total of 131,144,000
Americans voted in the 2012
Presidential election. Were you
one of them? If so, what kind of
voter do you think you are? Are
you the type who looks at all the
information a candidate has to
offer and weigh the pros and the
cons? Or are you the type of
person that just kind of goes with
the flow? Time Magazine put
together an article describing
different styles of voters. Ask
yourself if any of the following
describe you to find out what
type of voter you are.

information about all the
candidates. You weigh the pros
and cons and evaluate them
against your personal interests.
Since youve thoroughly
researched both sides, you are
more likely to vote across party
lines.
