i have been trying to put my finger on a stat that would indicate just how many people were disenfranchised by voter id and other bs. tho the number and info on provisional ballots should be scrutinized, this number right here is just what you say- people who knew their votes would be counted for barack obama, but knew it was a waste of time this time.

maybe there is a grain in there of the amount of grit people ought to have in these insane times. but that aint the rules of the game.
a majority is not how many you get minus how many they crush. that aint the way it is supposed to work.
