Voter Turnout

US News has an interesting graphic up that shows just how bad voter turnout was in the election last Tuesday. Barely 40 percent in Arkansas and Louisiana. Wow. Under 40 percent in Illinois and Florida. Completely pathetic. Basically the only people that turned out to vote were old, white people. No wonder the GOP won so handily.

Republicans have been proclaiming that United States voters have rejected the president's policies. Which ones? The economy is better, unemployment is down to 5.8 percent, the deficit has shrunk, and more Americans have health care. What am I missing?

The only answers I have gotten are a bunch of ideological nonsense.

Naturally you ignore the states that voted R and had higher than normal mid term turnout, e.g. Colorado.

So, so pathetic and predictable.

Not to mention clueless and willfully ignorant. Are you able to read AND comprehend anything? Scandal upon scandal and failure at everything and you don't understand?! Criminy!
