will be "Are those people out of work or lost their jobs to get a lower paying one going to bother to take the time and vote those responsible out of office?"

Motiving people to vote is hard when they've turned apathetic and depressed. Granted being out of work should give them the free-time to make it to a polling place, but they need proper motivation to do so.

I worked as an Electrion Judge at many polling places and have seen poor turnouts for areas of St. Louis County. Unless there was a Presidential Election, less than half or even 30% would show up and vote. Not unless there was a major issue on the ballots concerning where tax money went. "More taxes for better public schools? H*ll no!" "More taxes to fix the failing highways? H*ll no!"
