This is why we can’t have nice things: the non-voters

Political Wire reports that non-voters overwhelmingly back Obama: “A nationwide USA Today/Suffolk University Poll of people who are eligible to vote but aren’t likely to do so finds that these stay-at-home Americans back President Obama’s re-election over Mitt Romney by more than 2-1.

“Two-thirds of them say they are registered to vote. Eight in 10 say the government plays an important role in their lives. Even so, they cite a range of reasons for declaring they won’t vote or saying the odds are no better than 50-50 that they will: They’re too busy. They aren’t excited about either candidate. Their vote doesn’t count.”

If your vote doesn’t count, why are the Republicans with their ‘voter id’ laws and billionaires like Sheldon Adelson with his money trying so hard to block it?

If you’re thinking of not voting, think about it again. Do it.
