[quote:Anonymous Coward 1150730:MV8xMjQxNjkwXzIwMjMzNzA4X0JEOTAzQzk4] I didn't vote... I feel it doesnt matter who wins... Both sides are [b]freakin[/b] corrupt anyways... Plus it doesnt matter anyways... Whatever side looses will blame the winning party for every f*ck up that is made. Look at it this way If R win, and shit gets in the water in the coming future, (which likely it will) the D's will be firing back and be pointing at the shit in the water.. Anyways im done with this conversation... Now get me some golf shoes.. I cant make it outa this muck otherwise. :iamwith: [/quote]

How's that Not Voting workin for ya?!
— the number of nonvoters continues to outpace voters. In a primary season where the narrative tends to be about partisanship and anger, the statistics through the end of the summer suggest that voter participation remained relatively consistent with the last couple off-year election cycles.
According to the study, voter turnout rebounded slightly from the 2006 primary season (which, with slightly less than 17 percent of the voting age population voting, holds the record for the lowest turnout for a midterm election on record). It is consistent with turnout from the 1998 and 2002 primaries, in which
slightly less than 19 percent of the population voted.
Compared to 1994, participation in the 2010 primary runs about two percentage points lower.
Look at the graphs.

Less than 20% are voting when it counts during the primaries.
Not voting lead us to this very spot.
