    France just had it's lowest voter turnout in a generation: 75%. The highest in the USA since the 1960's? 2008 w/ Obama = 57.1%.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/862346562382561281 …

        Trump and GOP understand this fact ALL to well. So we must also counteract Voter Suppression. With a vengeance.

        It's almost as if they don't want us to vote. We need to either make it a holiday or weekend. Voting is serious business!

        Defective by design. France votes during the weekend, for starters.

        Because Obama projected anti-establishment progressive agenda (turned out to be BS). Neither candidate in 2016 did that. Same in FRA in 2017

        We make it too hard to vote in this country. Voting on a weekend or national holiday would help. So would no voter ID laws and working VRA.

        08 was "high" ONLY because the Dems offered hope. It was cosmetic. Dems need to offer what Sanders was selling or else lose again

        Besides mailing in, ballots can be dropped off at multiple locations and fresh ballots can be had in person at County election offices.

        The trouble is, who would we have under the corrupt system as it is, if not Clinton or Trump? Lucky we escaped Clintons. System corrupt.

        Voter disenfranchisement is a real issue. I think these numbers are heavily impacted by Electoral College. Votes don't count like others do.

        Understandeable. With a system like "winner takes all", as a D living in a GOP State or vice versa, I'd be inclined too to not even bother
