    Ohio here. The vast majority of nonvoters that I’ve met hold generally left-leaning viewpoints. If they were forced to vote, and did even the most basic research, they would overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

    That said, I acknowledge that my experiences have a skewed demographic, and may not represent the population as a whole.

      Former Buckeye here, I agree with you. So many were positive their vote wouldn’t change anything. No amount of encouragement could make them see the power of the large numbers they held.

      I hope some type of voting reform can catch on. I think Star, Ranked or anything better, could cause enough curiosity in how it works to encourage more people to register.

      Sure, and I don’t hand out with anyone that I know is on the right here in GA either.

      It’s esp. maddening because if I talk to people at shooting competitions, we can agree on a lot of the core issues, but then most of them are still blindly following Trump because it’s all feels, no reals.
