How many registered voters failed to vote in the last presidential election?

Question

If you can, then please cite your sources. We all know that thirty percent of statistics are made up on the spot, and another twenty-seven percent are typically ignored even by the people who ask for them.

I'm really interested, though.

Answer 1

Trust me, the majority of people didn't vote for DICKtator Bush either times. THE POLES ARE RIGGED!

Paper vallots are the only way to go!

Theories go unproven.

I'm a conspiracy truthist.

Answer 2

Unfortunately I believe a lot of them didn't vote. I vote all the time. It is my duty. Whenever I move, I file a change of address so I know where to vote. It's usually the people that whine about who is in office that didn't vote...poor saps

Answer 3

Well in 2004, there were 142 million registered voters,

And 126 million voted.

So that means 88.7% of the registered voters , actually voted.

And that 11.3% of the registered voters, did not vote.
