12. It's pathetic that only 34% voted. Just pathetic.

Michelle Obama is about to get out there to encourage registration, so maybe that will help.

I just don't get it. WHY don't people VOTE? They sure do complain a lot...about health care, wages, Social Security, the environment, FEMA, etc. If they're unhappy, why not vote? Maybe it's because they use voter registrations to call for jury duty? That's why my brother doesn't vote.

It's just pathetic.
