VIDEO:  Why Tuesday? (Film Your Issue)
 
 
Jacob Soboroff asks: when America ranks 139th of 172 countries in voter participation, why do we vote on Tuesday, smack in the middle of the work week? Jacob, 24, is a Los Angeles native, and is Executive Director of Why Tuesday?, a non-partisan and non-profit effort to increase voter participation.
