It boggles my mind that people do not vote.

You know in communist countries and dictatorships the people are required to
vote. Thank goodness we have the right not to vote. Voting for the sake of
voting IMHO sends the wrong message, I think it tells the counters that you
actually want one of the people running for office.

Better yet, require that for one to be elected that they get a majority of
the registered voters vote, not just a majority of the votes. If a majority
of the registered voters don't show up, another election is held with other
candidates. Yes this will take time to elect an official but don't we
deserve someone we actually want?

Best thing we could do to would be to go back to the original concept of
only property owners being able to vote ... but damn would that **** off
the politicians and lobbyist.

This idealistic "right of everyman to vote" will prove to be the root
factor in the eventual downfall of this country.

Sad, but true.
