    You said people won’t vote, you can’t pick and choose when they do vote in higher numbers than you’re saying in presidential elections.

      So I didn’t make the comment that you initially replied to. I was only offering some data that showed there are a lot of national elections where voter turnout was less than half. It’s true that presidential elections have a higher turnout than midterm but all of the house and ⅓ of the Senate are voted on in every midterm. They’re incredibly important and it’s a fact that less than half of eligible Americans turn out for those elections.
