Devyn Fitzgerald · Answer 2

The correct answer is: B) They are apathetic, or lack interest.

Even when every American has the right to vote, many decide not to. In the 2016 Presidential elections, only 6 out of 10 Americans casted their votes.

The main reason for this is that many US citizens believe that either their voice does not matter, that their vote wouldn't really change anything (as they think that bad politicians will always make their way to the Office) or that the results of the Elections won't make any differences in their current lives.
