A Pew Research Center survey conducted June 7 to July 5 found that about six-in-10 Americans, or 59 percent, were feeling election fatigue and were tiring of coverage of the 2016 election.
Don’t let election fatigue set in. Because whether you vote or don’t vote, individuals are going to be elected to positions where they will make decisions on your behalf, will decide how your tax dollars will be spent, will affect the level of services you enjoy.
