Quote of the Week

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.  ~George Jean Nathan

In the last congressional election, only 30% of the population voted. Of that 30%, only 11% were youths ages 18-29 while 34% were voters aged 60+. Since we know full well that citizens aged 60+ do not make up 34% of our overall population, are we really being accurately represented if the majority of those who are eligable to vote don't?
