America, we have a problem. Most of us are no longer interested in elections. …
My own polling shows declining interest in elections and campaigns, even in states with competitive primaries and general elections. It’s not just youths who are losing interest. Consider the recent Nebraska primaries that were so ostensibly salient to pundits nationwide. Only 27 percent of voters showed up, even disappointing the secretary of State there, who had predicted 30 percent turnout. CONT.
