Why are people not marching in the streets?

13. As always, I will point out that the last midterms, 2010, had record setting turn out in Oregon

while we are still discussing the abysmal turn out in other States. The States with the lousy turn out tend to also be States with long lines and crappy election laws. We vote by mail. And we get lots of ballots back, and we elect Democrats.
Of course, only the people in Florida can change the election laws in Florida. I think that's what is needed. We see those lines on TV while we are having voting parties and having a grand time with it. Something to think about. The States with problems really do seem to be waiting for DC or others to make reforms only they are able to make. They are the change we have been waiting for, if they'd only stop with the apathy or the desire to march around in the streets rather than promote change to the system that is mucking up those elections....
If some States have long lines and voter apathy, and others do not I'd say there are lessons as to 'how' to be seen in the States that get voters voting year in and year out. Just a thought. The low turn out and long line thing is not universal among the States.
