I see one path out of this. ONE. Maybe I'm missing something.

34. Facts don't support your assertion but who needs facts these days?

Post-election polls from the Pew Research Center and the progressive Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) should put concerns of widespread problems to rest. The Census will weigh in on reasons for nonvoting later this year, but past Census surveys show that impediments aren’t a reason for most people not voting. The top responses in 2020 for registered nonvoters were “not interested” or dislike of the candidates or campaigns. For those who weren’t registered, the top response was lack of interest. In 2024, Pew asked a similar question in its poll. The top reason for not voting, at 35%, was the belief that their vote wouldn’t count. Almost as many, 31%, said they didn’t like the candidates.

In the Pew survey, 94% of self-identified voters said voting for them was very (79%) or somewhat (15%) easy in 2024. Two percent said it was very difficult and 5% somewhat difficult. Perhaps because of the alarmist way the media covers these issues, nearly three times as many, 20% of registered voters in their pre-election late-September early October survey, expected it to be very difficult. Fifty-five percent in the post-election survey said the election in their community had been run and administered very well and another 35% somewhat well.
