Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic journal database, research one (1) peer-reviewed article that can be used to answer your upcoming CLA2 assignment.

Depending on which electronic database you use, you should see a Cite selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized. Your summary MUST include ALL of the following (include every item in the bullet point list below, or you will not receive full credit):
Clearly state what the article is about and its purpose
How the article and/or authors support your argument(s)
Most important aspects of the article
Any findings and conclusions

CLA 2 BELOW:
First, reflect upon the following:
There is a growing number of Americans who do not vote in national and local elections. Many of them explain their non-participation by saying that their vote would not make a difference.
Some go on to argue that this is true because "money plays such a large role in elections that the candidate with the highest paid, and the highest quality media campaign wins." Most people agree that money sometimes plays an inappropriate role in determining the outcome of elections.
