What do low voter turnout and political apathy endanger?

These endanger democracy. If people do not participate (if they do not pay attention to the issues and they do not vote), only a small number of vested interests will control the government. Democracy works best when a large number of people let their opinions be known; some people express themselves by volunteering to help in a campaign, or by attending meetings to learn more about the candidates. When citizens vote, they are choosing the candidates they believe will most closely represent their views. Thus, low voter turnout means the public was not engaged and/or did not feel excited about any of the candidates.

How do third parties influence American politics?

Historically speaking, third parties have had a limited influence on American politics. Currently, the two major American parties--the Democrats and Republicans--have deliberately crafted platforms designed to address most of the concerns of the voting public. However, it is possible for a third party to seize political advantage by successfully arguing that existing parties are not offering a sufficient solution to a pressing problem. In this way, third parties that gain momentum usually do so by aligning themselves with one particular cause, such as debt reduction or immigration. By leveraging one specific argument, that resonates with an identifiable segment of the voting public, third parties can temporarily present themselves as fresh alternatives to the "stagnant" positions of Democrats and Republicans. Over the long term, however, it becomes very difficult for a third party to remain new in the eyes of the voter and failure to win office consistently makes it difficult to secure the funding needed to sustain a challenge to established parties.

Which of the follwing does not help to explain the incumbency effect?

An increase in voter turnout does not help to explain the incumbency effect. Instead, factors such as name recognition, experience, access to resources, and constituent service typically contribute to the advantage that incumbent politicians have in elections.

Only 20 percent of Americans vote in the presidential primaries and 5 percent in the caucuses?

Low voter turnout in primary elections and caucuses can be attributed to various factors such as lack of interest, perceived complexity of the process, and scheduling conflicts. Increasing voter education and outreach efforts can help engage more individuals in the primary election and caucus process. Efforts to simplify and streamline the voting process may also encourage higher participation rates.
