Why do you think people don't vote? Are they lazy, apathetic or jaded by politics?

 
I'm going with lazy. Virtually every state has an "early voter/absentee ballot" option and you can usually register at the DMV or library (even online in many states) so I won't really accept whining about long lines. I also won't accept "they're all crooks". If everyone who thought both the Dem and GOP candidate was a crook voted 3rd party...OR made a concerted attempt to write in a candidate they DID think was worthy, notice would be taken. Voter turnout is usually only about 40%...even a "great" turnout is only around 50%. If the other half voted, they would be heard. As it is, I just see them as people who like to piss and moan about problems but have no interest in seeking solutions.  

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

I'm of the mindset that even if you couldn't care less about which candidate wins for President, there are still propositions that will affect you locally. I'd find it very hard to swallow if you told me you honestly didn't care about the outcome of any of 'em. So yeah, not voting is just kind of lazy. it's your right, I guess... but then I don't want to hear you complaining about who wins and what laws get passed.

Hey Greg! I posted an entry along the same lines last Friday. I vent in detail on my blog, but the bottom line is that I attribute it to pure laziness. A sad truth IMO.
