Proceeding from that, I'll go on to say that there is a great untapped voting bloc that doesn't vote, for what reasons?
Some are too lazy to get themselves to polling places.
I have a theory about the rest.
They are disenfranchised......they think their vote means nothing, there is no point to it, it's the same old song and dance.
There is a solid core of voters on both sides; liberal and conservative. For the most part, they vote stridently........both are preaching to the choir.
It's the average Joe (Jane) that we have to capture; think seriously what it would take to get these folks to the polls, and implement it.
What is the number, 40 percent of us vote? It would be amazing if you could tap into that 60 percent that doesn't.......well, some of them anyway!
After 2000 and again in 2004 how can anyone think their vote doesn't count? Escapes me, then I've never missed an election in my adult life.
