the number of Protestants who cast votes still outnumbers voting Catholics by over three to one

Try two to one.

Either way, it's proof that a huge nuber of Protestant folks, I think it's by far and away the majority of them, sit out elections than vote. Otherwise they would outnumber Catholics by a much wider margin.

Also, I don't quite get how they're coming up with those numbers given the fact I've seen others that put Protestans at around 62% and Catholics at 24%. It must be that some who comple statistics consider sects that aren't Christian in with Protestants. I guess which would tap numbers out of the unaffiliated group and might expalin the difference.

Like I said, though, it's still the Protestant electorate that calls the shots and if folks in the South are any indication at least as many of them sit out elections as vote.

You post garbage like that and expect to be taken seriously? You're the poster boy for the failure of public education.

Any idea of what methodology was used to produce those "numbers". (That's a rhetorical question because the answer is of course you can't and we all know it.)

That's quite the hole you're digging for yourself and based on your posting history I doubt you'll stop digging.
