What does the word embraced in this sentence from Paragraph 5 explain about voters?

Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process.

Voters feel an especially strong bond with other people who have voted.

Voters enjoy voting along with their loved ones because it makes them feel closer.

Accepting the voting process wholeheartedly makes voters feel better about themselves.


Some voters come to view voting not just as a duty fulfilled, but as a recreation.



A Right and a Responsibility

What does it mean to vote? If you are of age, voting is exercising your right to determine how and who will make laws and enforce those laws on your behalf. When you vote, you determine who has a say-so in the use of tax dollars you contribute to the general welfare of the citizens of your town, county, state, and nation. Voting is not only a right, it is also a responsibility. Voting is a powerful tool that people can use to the benefit or detriment of others.

The Constitution of the United States did not originally define who had the right to vote. That determination was left up to the states, and in the majority of states at that time, only white male property owners had the right to vote. Women, people of color, and white males who did not own property had no say-so in the election of government officials. Not all voting rules were the same throughout the states, however, so this made for an interesting electorate. For example, in New Jersey, a white woman could vote if she owned property, and in some northern states, free men of color could vote. Luckily, the framers of the Constitution had the foresight to build into it a means to rectify unjust situations by allowing for the addition of amendments, or additions, to the Constitution. Through amendments, women and free people of color were eventually guaranteed the right to vote.

If voting is such a powerful tool, why is there such appalling voter turnout in many elections? People think their vote doesn’t count or doesn’t matter. Long lines of voters at the polls before sunrise are typical only of “big” elections, such as the election of a senator or representative to serve in the federal government or the election of a president for the country. But it is the off-year elections, those smaller elections for local and state offices, that should matter most. For the vast majority of the population, the local elections are the ones that touch their everyday lives. It is in these elections that people decide who runs the local school boards, who makes the rules and regulations governing behavior and activities in their locality, and who will judge the population in the local courts. There also may be issues on the ballot that will affect their daily lives that have nothing to do with who the candidate is, but actions will be taken (or not) that will affect them. When a candidate is elected, he or she feels a mandate has been given by the electorate to fulfill promises made to get into office.

Who is voting? In some studies and polls, the most active voters are usually more educated and more involved with their communities. This electorate knows the issues and problems, and knows who can and cannot help make the communities better. They read more, listen to others’ opinions more, and make a decision based on the track record of the person running. They understand that voting is a learned activity, and they want to help those in their communities who do not understand the importance of voting to better understand the process. They get involved with the populace, teaching them the requirements for voting, such as finding the polling place, numbers to call for help, learning their voting options—such as early or electronic voting—and teaching them the impact voting will have on the issues that they are concerned about.

What are other benefits of voting? Some studies have shown that voting can have a psychological effect on the voter. Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process. It gives the participant a sense of satisfaction, almost like saying, “I made my voice heard today. I voted.” Voting also benefits future generations when children see their parents and other responsible adults exercising their constitutional right to vote and be heard. Voting addresses the future needs of coming generations because the policies put into place by the elected officials will affect lives now and in the future.

Low voter turnout in a country that guarantees every eligible citizen over the age of eighteen the right to vote is unacceptable. Every election you are eligible to vote in commands your participation. Make your voice heard. Don’t hesitate. Vote!

The word, "embraced" in relation to voters explains that Accepting the voting process wholeheartedly makes voters feel better about themselves.

When we embrace an idea or thing, it means that we accept that thing for what it is.

By saying that voters have embraced the electoral process, it means that they have accepted the way it works which is why it was easy to feel better about themselves.

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry."

DeLuca offers a haphazard patchwork of reasoning and evidence that leaves the reader wondering whether he believes his own claim. He remains focused on Dylan's body of work, quoting not only supporters of the Nobel committee's choice, but also detractors. DeLuca also includes a liberal sampling of Dylan's song lyrics, but he largely leaves them to speak for themselves.

By the time my mother married my father, however, she knew all about the true nature of the dictatorship. Thousands had lost their lives in failed attempts to return the country to democracy.

As a young man, he had narrowly escaped to Canada after the plot he had participated in as a student failed. This was to be the first of two escapes. That same year, 1937, El Generalísimo ordered the overnight slaughter of some eighteen thousand Haitians, who had come across the border to work on sugarcane plantations for slave wages.
