Election Day Factors


6)
who weighs more -
Better looking politicians get more media coverage cause pretty faces make a difference on the ballot
Alternately, obesity equals honesty in the eyes of voters
and negative aspects of appearance trump positive ones in terms of brain response.
This is not restricted to the U.S. but rather holds true globally.

5)
where you vote -
Subtle nuances in the environment come into play when voting

4)
sports results -
Whether or not a local team wins or loses can swing the vote by 5%
the 2009 NCAA basketball tournament even played a role in Obama's campaign

3) the order the names are listed in -
Stanford research found after 10 years of study,
whomever comes first on the ballot has a 2% advantage of winning

2)
weather -
Seeing that most of the lower class use public transportation to travel,
whether or not it's raining or cold can detour voters.
Natural disasters severely up the ante.

1)
genes -
Many researchers believe political behavior or preference is inherited,
yet surprisingly race, age, & gender didn't matter as much as our genetic history.


brainwashing you can believe in
