Ballot Initiatives Seek to Boost Turnout By Peter Brownfeld, Fox News, April 29, 2004 WASHINGTON — Initiatives for dozens of issues will be on ballots across the country this November, but many of the proposals are designed to do more than advance narrow causes -- they aim to boost voter turnout at the polls for this year's tight election... Initiatives are a way to register new voters and energize old ones. They help bring wedge-issue voters to the polls, and that can make the difference in hotly contested states... Among the initiatives that could boost turnout for either the Republicans or Democrats this year is a measure in Arizona to limit benefits for illegal aliens, a proposal in Florida and Nevada to increase the minimum wage and a referendum in Michigan to defend affirmative action... Kathy McKee, director of Protect Arizona Now (search), an initiative to limit benefits received by illegal immigrants, said that boosting Bush or John Kerry is the furthest thing from her mind. Asked whether the presidential race was motivating the initiative, she cited disappointment with Bush administration policies. "I can guarantee you that’s not the case for our initiative," McKee said. However, McKee said that if the initiative qualifies for the ballot, it will likely boost turnout, and the initiative's 2,000 volunteers have registered many voters. |
