decided to conduct and publish a study that determined which states were the most—or least—involved in politics.
thus found that the top five most politically engaged states in the U.S. were, in ascending order: Oregon, Washington, Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland. The bottom five were Nebraska, South Dakota, Alabama, West Virginia, and Arkansas. “Civic participation is a key ingredient of a well-functioning democracy, and voter turnout is one measure of the public’s trust in government,” reads the study. “Unfortunately, there’s evidence to suggest a growing lack of political engagement among Americans.”
“Large proportions of the public fail even simple knowledge tests such as knowing whether one’s state requires identification in order to vote.”
