The study that he is likely referring to is the one that shows that an average US voter's opinion has no impact on what bills get passed or not passed. So yes we can impact who gets elected (from a narrow choice), but that is worthless if we have no impact what is getting passed. In other words, if neither party is going to represent our interests then voting doesn't matter.

Many in the US have figured this out intuitively based on their own personal experiences and thus the large voter apathy. Now there is proof.

So low voter turnout is not the problem...it is just a symptom. Voting is an act of futility until the influence of special interests is reduced....
