More than 80 million to sit out election.

yeah, so many people have no clue. can't name one member of the scotus-can't name their congressman, their senators-probably most don't know their governor. not surprised that many don't know the vp-probably in line with naming the sec of state.
when i talk with people from places like canada, they tell me that they know more about our govt than many of us do-and they're right.
quick, without looking, name canada's prime minister-or england's.

Canada, no one knows because he is not particularly important in the world, LOL.
GB, some might know this week due to the Olympics.

American voters are notoriously lazy and ill-informed. Package those numbers with the 5 million legally registered citizen voters that will be purposely disenfranchised, and few have room to complain about what's happening in this country.

As a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and reportedly asked, “Mr. Franklin, what have you designed for us in there?” Franklin retorted, “A republic madam…if you can keep it.”

Voters have 100% responsibility for the government they get.

But I bet many of them could name the contestants on "Dancing with the Celebrity".
