Question

' In the USA, poor people, African Americans ans Hispanics vote much less than the rich and the white people. ' Why ?

Answer 1

Hi Friend,
Due to my opinion it is due to the literacy bcs the rich and white are well good in knowledge and they know the meaning of vote and it's importance but the poor people and others r mainly illiterate or they r busy in there work and give not much important to voting.

Hope this helps....:)

Answer 2

Black and Hispanic citizens, for whom the poverty rate is close to three times that of whites, were three times as likely as whites to not have the requisite I.D. and to have difficulty finding the correct polling place.
They were more than three times as likely as whites to not receive a requested absentee ballots, and roughly twice as likely to be out of town on Election Day or to have to wait in long lines.
They were also substantially more likely than whites to report transportation problems and bad time and location as reasons for not getting to the polls, while white voters were the most likely to cite disapproval of candidate choices. Taken together, the surveys suggest that white citizens who abstain from voting do so primarily by choice, while the majority of minority non-voters face problems along the way.

A full 43 percent of nonvoters are Hispanic, African American, or other racial and ethnic minorities. They are less affluent than likely voters: Almost half—46 percent—of nonvoters have family incomes less than $30,000 per year, while only 19 percent of likely voters are from low-income families. They are less educated than likely voters: While 72 percent of likely voters have completed at least some college, most nonvoters—54 percent—did not attend college.

So we can say that Racial minority if it also suffers from low education standard and income level loses hope of any substantial improvement in their lot and are indifferent to voting.
