3) we discussed the so-called “Paradox of Voting,” where the perceived benefits someone believes they have when voting in an election is weighed against their perceived costs. Do you plan to vote in the 2024 Presidential election? What about the 2022 Midterm elections that will take place two years before? Explain and in doing so, discuss the benefits and costs you have in your plans to vote in the upcoming election and how the benefits of voting outweighs the costs (or vice versa).
