La educación superior se ha convertido en un requisito básico para conseguir un trabajo con un salario decente y para entrar en la clase media. A la misma vez, esta licenciatura se ha puesto tan cara que no está al alcance de muchos de los jóvenes en Estados Unidos. El costo de ir a una institución de estudios superiores ha aumentado de manera exponencial en los últimos veinte años, mientras que las políticas de ayuda económica han paulatinamente abandonado a los estudiantes con mayor necesidad económica.

Same Day Registration (SDR) (also known as Election Day Registration) states have historically led the nation in voter turnout, with average turnout rates 10 to 12 percentage points higher than non-SDR states.
