(65,753 posts)Just my local example here in the glorious state of Florida (yeah, yeah hush lol).
When it came down to Trump v Harris (a/k/a Democracy or No) somewhere between 22% and 30% didn't bother to vote (allegedly).
In Florida, you only have to get off your ass twice to vote, at the most.
You can request a mail in ballot online or by phone.
You get the ballot in the mail (to the mailbox, off your ass 1st time).
You fill out the ballot (it's all just circles to fill in).
You put the ballot in the "secret sleeve" then in the envelope, which you seal, date and sign.
You put the ballot in the mail (or go to a drop, voting station, whatever...this is off your ass the 2nd time)
BTW, mailing the ballot is postage free. Free!!
That's it. One would exert him/her/themself more hitting a drive through for a coffee or fries.
22-30% can't be bothered, at least here in the sunshine state.
