Evaluate how well eligible Maryland voters fulfilled their civic responsibility by voting in the 2014 primary election.
Answer:Your answer should include the following information: Maryland citizens did a poor job of fulfilling their civic responsibility of voting in the 2014 primary elections. Of the 3,392,600 eligible to vote, only 739,678 voted in the primary election. This is a 23% voter turnout, the lowest in nearly 25 years. Both Republicans and Democrats reflected this 23% turnout rate. Some potential reasons for the low turnout include redistricting in the region and the election falling on a date in June.
