It is hard to imagine that people do not see the importance of voting, but judging by the numbers too many do not bother. Being a non-presidential year the numbers will probably be worse. We try to keep politics out of this forum (a chore for me) but if you look at the example of Dean Kamen and how often politicians are a part of the opening and closing ceremonies you should be able to tell he thinks we should be involved, and the least we can do is vote.
