It notes Soviet first strike concerns, potential conventional offensives, and NATO flexible response policies. It cautions against trusting Soviet pledges given past invasions and strategic aims.

Voter registration cost outpaced turnout in 1984 election
The 1984 election cost over 20 million dollars for voter registration by both parties, yet turnout was 52.9 percent with 92 million of 174 million eligible voters voting. Maine led with 64.7 percent, South Carolina trailed at 37.2 percent, and early TV calls are blamed for depressing Western turnout. Political observers debate whether the heavy registration push paid off, noting gains in the South and Illinois may reflect long term benefits despite the national result.
