In the year 2000 approximately 46% of Americans did not vote for either Gore or Bush. They didn't show up.
In 2004, approximately 40% of Americans did not vote for either Bush or Kerry. They didn't show up.
In 2008, approximately 38% of Americans did not vote for either Obama or McCain. They didn't show up.
In 2012, approximately 43% of Americans did not vote for either Obama or Romney. They didn't show up.
That means in each election more Americans voted for NO candidate by not showing up at all. The winner of each election received less votes than the NO candidate voted on by those who did not participate (or not voted on).
Just over half of Americans are making decisions for all Americans by casting a vote.
One little spark of inspiration: Cast your vote this November.
