Education divides voters as college grads outpace nongrads
The piece analyzes how education affects voting, noting that 38 percent of 2004 votes came from those with college degrees while only 40 percent of Ohioans had degrees. It links lower turnout among noncollege locals to civics gaps, daily economic struggles, and limited confidence in choosing candidates. It cites studies, surveys, and expert opinions from Susan MacManus to Liette Gidlow, plus examples from Ohio schools and youth voter efforts.
