This is an election year so there's going to be a lot of moaning from left-leaning people about voter turnout, blaming the system for preventing turnout when in fact it's really just personal choice. People don't want to vote. They don't care. The end. Deal with that, crybabies.

This is not an uninformed opinion. I was community organizer for 13 years. I've tried to get more people to vote than you can possibly imagine. I have seen and talked to an unbelievable number of people on and around Election Day who definitely could vote who just would not/did not.

Look, it comes down to this: people vote when they wanna vote. Making it easier does not matter. It just doesn't.

There is just example after example of people given chances to participate in decisions in very simple ways that just choose not to. Great example, the colloquially known "Motor Voter Act" of 1993. It got a lot more people registered to vote by basically making it easier to register than not to register. Whoop-dee-do. Impact on actual voting? Basically non-existent.

Anyway, whatever you think on this topic, for the love of God, keep voting off the internet. For. Fuck's. Sake.
