I mentioned a while back that very few people actually voted to plant Mr Bush's ass in the White House.
Something on the order of 50% of the people eligible to vote bother to register and only 50% of those who register bother to actually vote and then 50% plus one of them decide who is elected.
The US Congress has a quorum requirement of 50% showing up before they can vote on something. The voting public is averaging 25%, with 35% being noteworthy enough to make the news! 25% is not a quorum by Congressional standards, why is it OK during a general election?
I know that there is no requirement for a quorum, or even that anyone vote at all. It just seems that there are 225 million Americans who say, "Not those guys!" every single election (and end up with whoever the remaining 75 million pick).
NOW, my tripwire issue is firearms. There are an estimated 100 million gun owners in the US. Pretty damn clear to me that they are not out there voting because we keep getting people who are anti-gun on the ballot and winning elections.
