Pick 3 voter behaviors and theorize (speculate) why voters of those groups have traditionally voted for Democrats or Republicans. What values do you share that would move you to pick one party over the other? Explain.

There are many different types of voter behaviors and patterns. For example, African Americans have traditionally voted Democrat, as have members of unions (though this was not necessarily true of unions in the last election). These groups traditionally find Democrats more sympathetic to their cause and think that the government can help their interests. Veterans have tended to vote Republican, as they see Republicans as more supportive of the military and of veterans. Voters who are religious tend to vote Republican, in part because they feel that Republicans are pro-life, while Democrats are pro-choice. Men tend to vote Republican, while women tend to vote Democrat. Finally, voters who are more highly educated tend to vote Democrat.
You can think about how your identity would sway you to vote for one party or the other. For example, if you have a college degree (or are in the process of earning one), would this make you more likely to vote for a Democrat? If you identify as a man, would you be more likely to vote Republican? If you identify as a woman, would that make you more likely to vote Democrat? People who are transgender also tend to vote Democrat.
