Explanation
Answer: D - Overall, individuals who never went to college, those who have a household income below $40,000/year, and those under the age of 24 are far less likely to vote than the rest of the population. This means that these groups are also under-represented in government and their voices are less heard. Not only are these segments of the population less likely to vote, they are also less likely to be engaged in other political activity such as joining interest groups.
