only 70% of Americans are eligible to vote, and 52% OF Americans eligible to vote are registered, about 40% of those registered actually vote regularly\nso less than 20% of those eligible to vote make the decisions in this country for everyone\na recap\n300 million people=US\n210 million people= Eligible to vote\n109 million people= registered to vote\n41   million people= those who vote\n20.5 million people+1= number of votes required to win\n=\n7.5% of the people do all the  thinking

The same as we do when the majority of citizens choose not to vote today!  Elect officials with the majority of the voting participants!

About 4.3 million or so people cast a ballot in this election\nas for registered voters I am betting this is only like 32-42% of them.

In MN, they said that 56% (or 57%, can't remember exactly) of registered voters actually voted. And that is actually down just a little from the last midterm election. \n\nNation wide, I believe I heard it was 40% of registered voters.

I don't think statistics can provide a truly accurate answer for actual number of eligible voters.  During the presidential election, the democrats had thousands registered to vote that were actually resting in peace in our cemeteries across the U.S.  Although most of these votes are weeded out..........it makes you wonder how many get counted.

From the Answers blog,\n\n"Lots of updates today! [Deep breath...] here goes:\n\nSelf-voting: Back by popular demand! The people spoke, and we listened--we've put back the ability to vote for your own answers. The arguments were thorough and far-ranging, from "but you can vote for yourself in political elections" to "sometimes it's the only way I can resolve a question". Thanks to everyone for their input.\n\nImproved layout (see Fig. 1): We moved the search box up to the green bar, and the "My Q&A" link to the right side of the bar. This makes it easier to find both elements, and cleans up the clutter. The points widget was moved to the left side, above the category list, and now shows your avatar when you're logged in!\n\nStats on My Q&A page (see Fig. 2): It's now much easier to see how you're doing, graphically. The new module on your My Q&A page shows the stats of your questions and answers--the questions tab shows the number and percentage of your open, voting, resolved, and deleted questions, and the answers tab shows the number and percentage of your best answers.\n\nNo limit on number of answers: We've removed the limit on the number of answers a question can receive (it used to be 100), so everybody gets a chance to answer the really popular questions. Questions with more than 30 answers will have paging to make them easier to browse and read.\n\nSpelling suggestion on search results page: To give you extra help in finding what you're looking for, we added spelling suggestions on the search results pages. When you type in a misspelled word or phrase, the results page will show the header "Did you mean:", followed by the suggested spelling. Clicking on the suggested spelling will generate another search based on the correction.\n\nLinks to international Yahoo! Answers sites: In the footer of every page, you'll now see links to the five English-language Answers sites.\n\n"Show me another" bug fixed: Now, when you click on the "Show me another" link after taking an action like rate or vote, you will be shown a different question. Previously, you were shown the same question."\n\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/y_answrs_team?p=3348

I don't know if your numbers are accurate; I think it was closer to 30% for blair. In answer to your third question, tho, it might be possible to enforce voting by fining people- is this really desirable? there is a country that does this, I think, that also have a 'none of the above' on the voting slip. I 'none of the above wins in an area, the poll has to be taken again.\ni would like this, but I'm not sure gorenments would go for it.

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.

We won't know that answer until tomorrow at the earliest.\n\nAbsentee ballots are still coming in and polls aren't quite closed yet on the East Coast. (It is 4.53 mst as I type.)  And many states allow people to vote early.  Those are all counted tonight, even though the people did not technically vote today.  ; )\n\nEdit: I voted last week.  The turn-out in my part of Colorado is great!
