Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Look again

I think it highlights a very important point...

The same one I have been making time and again. These buttwipes in Congress did not elect, nor did they re-elect themselves. 97% of the Senatorial incumbents will be re-elected, along with around 85% of the House, by the same people who either did not bother to v**e, or b***h about "term limits." Think of it as the "Arrogance of Apathy" If we had term limits, that would give the non-v**ers one more excuse not to trouble themselves.

Perhaps because it is viewed as a right, rather than as a privilege?

One of the reasons v****g was originally restricted to property owners was not so much bigotry as the belief that property owners would cast an informed v**e since they had "skin in the game." A second or third generation professional welfare recipient who has never held a job other than pressing license plates at the state prison will v**e for whoever promises him or her free stuff.

One would think that those people, being the majority, would get tired of letting a handful of people decide their fate. Then again, maybe not.

As I have said many time trump was elected by people who were so disgusted to v**e .

This holds true of all e******ns...

The majority of people don't v**e...

Better find an accurate map. Or look up the numbers and make your own.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Nobody is what may have been anyway, given the total number of those who v**ed period...

Shows if you don't v**e you live with it!!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

It already does just that~~ they don’t v**e and then b***h about what wasn’t done.~~ think Virginia~~

Take a look at this for comparison to your map.~~

V****g rates have historically varied by race and Hispanic origin (Figure 2). In 2012, v****g rates for non-Hispanic b****s (66.6 percent) were higher than non-Hispanic w****s (64.1 percent) for the first time in this series. In 2016, turnout increased to 65.3 percent for non-Hispanic w****s, but decreased to 59.6 percent for non-Hispanic b****s.

Figure 2. Reported V****g Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin: 1980-2016
For the most part, from 1980 to 2012, the share of reported v**ers who were non-Hispanic white decreased from one p**********l e******n cycle to the next (Figure 3).1 In 1980, 87.6 percent of reported v**ers were non-Hispanic white, but by 2012, this number decreased to 73.7 percent. Over this same period, the distribution of v**ers who reported being either non-white or Hispanic increased in most e******ns.2 However, in 2016, for only the second time in this series, the percentage of v**ers who were non-Hispanic white (73.3) was not statistically different from the previous p**********l e******n, meaning that the consistently observed year-to-year decrease did not occur in this most recent cycle. Additionally, 2016 was only the second e******n in this series where the share of non-Hispanic black v**ers decreased, from 12.9 percent in 2012 to 11.9 percent in 2016.3

V****g rates have also historically varied according to age, with older Americans generally v****g at higher rates than younger Americans (Figure 4). In 2016, this was once again the case, as citizens 65 years and older reported higher turnout (70.9 percent) than 45- to 64-year-olds (66.6 percent), 30- to 44-year-olds (58.7 percent) and 18- to 29-year-olds (46.1 percent). However, in 2016, young v**ers ages 18 to 29 were the only age group to report increased turnout compared to 2012, with a reported turnout increase of 1.1 percent. All older age groups either reported small yet statistically significant turnout decreases (45- to 64-year-olds and those age 65 and older) or turnout rates not statistically different from 2012 (30- to 44-year-olds).
