58% of registered voters in the Ossoff/Handel race, voted.

Some people might get excited at a 58% turnout. Not me.

With all the analysis, words and opinions expressed about that election, the most disturbing to me is, why don't people vote.

All that money spent...perhaps the most costly congressional race ever...garnered 58% turnout.

I voted early and it was easy. Early voting was open on Saturdays too. Voting should get you something, maybe a lottery ticket or something.
