Why Do So Few Vote In US?

3. This country has always made it hard to vote.

From needing to live some minimum time in your state or city -- sometimes as long as a year -- to making the voting location hard to find. The very requirement to find the correct voting place is ludicrous, especially in our modern era of computers.

No early voting in too many places, resulting in abysmally long lines for too many people to stand in.

Then there's the often accurate perception that your vote doesn't count, which is absolutely true at the Presidential level. Gerrymandering House districts and the districts for the state house and senate likewise doesn't help. People vote but nothing changes because so many politicians are only beholden to their donors.
