41 million fewer voters in midterm than last general election.

Just say'n. Americans don't care who owns them. Maybe someday they will. They will never kill my hope. Now back to the rock pile. Won't stand in line to vote, but will stand in line at walfart is the new American way.

Just like DU, much of the country seems fixated on the king. If a President is being elected, they vote. If it is just a Governor, state legislators, congresspeople (even Senators) then many just do not care.

We will have city elections next April (and I always try to promote those to the County party (although one guy said to me recently - city council is where political ambitions go to die)).

Even fewer people will vote.
