These are largely opinions, with scant empirical corroboration. However, they include such things as urban demographics, decline in reading newspapers, decline in civics education, longer commutes (to work), increased stress, overdosing on television and rental video, campaigns that last too long, growing disgust with government institutions, and redistricting schemes that alienate voters.<BR/><BR/>It also depends on the purpose of the election; there is a higher turnout for general elections than during primary and special elections.<BR/><BR/>There is also a higher turnout when ACORN is involved; more dead people vote, more people vote early and often, and people who can earn a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine for voting Democratic show up in droves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-17684389058719621082008-10-09T14:12:00.000-07:002008-10-09T14:12:00.000-07:00Most people I know have little or even no interest...Most people I know have little or even no interest in politics.
