E - Climate Voting

Parents

10 million super-environmentalists didn't vote in 2016
15 million environmentalists didn't vote in 2014
All project does is to get people who aren't voting to vote and vote more often
BUT the reason so few voters prioritize environmental issues is not because Americans don't
EVP focuses only on non-voting environmentalists ignored by others
For voters electing pro climate politicians, what’s the carbon benefit?
If people made a promise to vote, they are a lot more likely to vote
Improving voter turnout is not that expensive - could be in all the key states with $6-7 million budget
In 2018 targetted 2.4 environmentalists in six states
Politicians need to pick and choose what they're going to focus on, and that's dependent on priorities
The carbon footprint of election results
The EVP never talks about the environment - it doesn't help in getting people to vote
The rationality of climate voting varies across the U.S.
There are more than 20 states that have a lot of non-voting environmentalists - where EVP would like to be active
Voters and non-voters agree on most things - including that candidates don't really represent their views. That's NOT why people don't vote
Voting by mail does increase turnout - great piece in Washington Monthly on Colorado's study
When you poll likely voters, climate change and environment is at the bottom of the priorities list
