The bigger problem is ignorant people voting for a candidate because of his last name, his hair or his height. I'd rather no vote than the stupid vote.

It bugs me that registration and turnout among young voters, Not all. My children have voted in every election since they turned 18. We discuss the voters pamphlets over the dinner table. Sometimes we vote alike, but often we have inter-family cancelling out. Which is fine with us, we all vote our beliefs and respect each others' votes.

They are not being reached. They are not being sold on democracy, and they are not (in large part) educated enough to appreciate democracy. Many of the people who voted do not appreciate it either, and would, no doubt, vote in a police state if they could. At the moment the only people truly well represented are the people with the cash to buy representation. All others will eat the scraps from the table, until the revolution :-)
