    And they won’t next time either. Stop worrying about them and focus on those who do vote.

      This is real defeatist.

      There are absolutely people who will not vote no matter what. But folks are being actively disenfranchised and making it easy to vote by a proven secure method has become a political issue because a few who have power wield it without responsibility. Hell, if Election Day was a national holiday (as in, EVERYTHING is closed or by law folks are able to take time off to vote with proof of doing so) you’d probably see a substantial bump alone.

      Right but not for the reasons you think. I’m not counting on there being a next time at this rate.
