How To Increase Voter Turnout

This Political cartoon is saying that the only way to increase the voting turnout is to put things that the average Americans actually pay attention to, on the ballot. For instance, in the cartoon, on the ballot to vote is the option of American idol. Millions of Americans tune into this show every week and are very familiar with the show. The issue that this cartoon is trying to make a point about, is that Americans are not aware or ignorant about many political issues. It is harder for them to vote and therefore the voter turnout on election days is very low. I completely agree with this cartoon and the message it is trying to convey. I think we need to come up with ideas so Americans are not as ignorant when it comes to politics and so we can have a better vote turnout.
