...the actual percentage of the population that even votes is small.

My county had an 89.5% turnout.

I just read on another thread that Philadelphia had 90% turnout, Obama winning 99% of the vote in multiple districts. In Cleveland dozens of districts, Obama got 100% of the turnout, Romney receiving absolutely none. Now imagine dropping a diamond in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and going back a week later, finding the precise spot, getting your diamond back.

89.5% of the population? I don’t think so. Eligible voters? Sure. But in the scheme of things what you witnessed was not a referendum representing the entire populations’ voice. There’s a world of ignorance out there, which means opportunity when viewed the right way. It is outside both your principles and mine to give up.
