well, after they finally allowed the overseas military absantee ballots to be counted (that kerry's team tried to keep from happening because they arrived a day late or something similar), it wasn't even close.  Bush won by a large scale.  I don't know the actual numbers.
65114
I guess you're talking about the last US election. The report linked below says that 18.4% of the voters were 18-29, meaning that 51.6% of citizens aged 18-29 voted, the highest in the last 4 elections at least.

122,293,332 total\n\n62,040,610 for George W. Bush\n59,028,111 for John F. Kerry\n1,224,611 for other candidates

that is a great question.  I believe the American populace has become disenfranchised.  We seem to put a lot of stock in how these elections are tallied when there are mechanical problems and corrupt election commissioners all over the place!  You can't tell me a majority of the population voted for Dubya!

Your question should be how many votes can an idiot get and still loose the election.  That answer will give you the number of fools who voted in the last election.

They are actually voting for electors in the electoral college. In most tates, the electors are required to cast a vote for whatever candidate won the popular vote in that state.

We were almost all out voting, that's what!  We voted like 2000 was the beginning of the end!  Guess what!  It was!  First, They disqualified a huge number of otherwise eligible voters, almost all from heavily, poor and black precincts in Florida.  Then, they didn't count all the votes in most of those poor, heavily democratic counties in Florida.  Gore was actually elected by the popular vote, then the Supreme court intervened and stopped the vote-counting, and appointed Bush.  In 2004, same thing all over again, but this time in Ohio.  Nuff sed?  The real question is, which state will Bush have screw up the vote-counting all over again? Or will he just have his brother, Jeb, appointed?

Better question should be HOW MANY VOTES WERE STOLEN AND MANIPULATED TO WIN THE ELECTION ?

The basic "paradox" to your question is there has not really been public enthusiasm for elections in years.  Less than 60% of voting age public have voted and far less than the voting age public is actually even registered to vote and this is in the Presidential years.  The numbers in off election years fall short of the pitiful turnout that we get for Presidential Elections.  It is no wonder that we have people who are trying to buy legislation when the American Public has not turned out to actually go through the steps of trying to run the country.
