Did not vote includes a significant number of disenfranchised people who were denied the ability to vote through having the right to vote taken from them, voting suppression barriers such as lines that were 8+ hours long, removal from voter registries, bullshit ID requirements, and other malicious actions.
Democracy!
I remember when I tried to vote from abroad while living in Fiji and my mail ballot arrived after the election 😂
And the same people claiming to be victims of voter fraud are the ones perpetrating the election fraud.
Before the 2000 presidential election, Florida’s legislature ordered the removal of deceased registrants, and citizens with felony convictions from rolls – Florida imposes a lifetime voting ban on ex-felons. But it was later reported that at least 1,100 legitimate voters were mistakenly removed from the rolls, according to The New York Times, while some reports project thousands more legitimate voters than that number were prevented from casting a ballot. It is the 2000 election in which President George W. Bush won by a 537-vote margin in Florida.
The actual stolen election.
People don't understand that high numbers of people not voting is a symptom of a problem, not a problem itself.
It's such a good metric to have and unless you're a fan of authoritarian governments then I don't see why you would want mandatory voting. "Everything is fine in our country. Look at all of this engagement in our elections that we forced." That's what you sound like if you full on back mandatory voting.
