The results for this lab were very interesting and surprising to us! Out of about 10 people that we interviewed, only one person said they would sell their right to vote. (The $0 signs mean that they would not sell their right to vote, not that they don't value it.) We found this surprising considering the low voter turnout in the U.S. However, it is possible that people still value this right even if they don't take advantage of it.
In general, voting is good for social capital because it unifies the nation as a whole. This lab showed that social capital in this area is better than expected and that people do care about the community around them because they think its important to be involved in it through voting.
Most people doesn't want to sale their vote, but there is only one guy with a kid who wanted to sale his vote for 300USD. I think it's because he just really needs money, it doesn't matter about that he wouldn't care about his rights to vote!
