General Discussion

Eligible voters, registered or not, stayed home in droves last election. The numbers I've seen are scattered, but "not voting" contingent seems to have picked up between 6 and 9 million. Some early reporting suggested there was a great increase in non-participation among voters under 35, but analytical postings dropped off sharply after last December, for some reason.

If "not voting" counted as "none of the above," it would have won the popular vote in last several elections. By a couple of estimates that sort of "none of the above" would have won the Electoral College in 2024, for the first time. I stand by my hypothesis.
