Good, then you DO have a citation to back up that preposterous claim?

Bush II received approximately one-half of the vote of the approximately
60% [1] of the eligible voters who voted. That is approximately 30% of
the eligible voters choosing Bush II, or less than one-third.

40% did not choose either Kerry or Bush II, thereby indicating their
preference for "none of the above".

Your math is sound. Your conclusion, in my opinion, is not. You give those
folks who didn't vote too much credit. I don't believe they were making the
statement, "none of the above" at all. I believe they were making the
statement, "whatever you think is OK with me" or, "I don't care, pass the
(beer, drugs)" or "I'm just too plain lazy."

Or maybe both the candidates with a chance of winning did nothing to
inspire people to vote. I do not see how anyone could have been excited
by either Kerry or Bush II, as neither of them was honest with the
people (both ducked answering question by going off into spin with
distressing frequency) and both would primarily serve the interest of a
small corporate elite. The only real difference with on a few social
issues such as abortion, which neither party wants to outlaw [1]. Both
candidates were much more interested in political power, than
representing the interests of the common good.

Face it, the US has a broken democracy that needs significant reforms.
Hell, even votes can not be counted correctly (as evidence mounts of
incorrectly counted optically scanned votes in Florida and serious
disagreements with exit polls in Florida, Ohio, and other states).

[1] The Republicans need to keep abortion legal so they have it as a
campaign issue.

My favorite at the moment is the precint in Ohio where less than 700
folks voted but W got something like 3600 votes. It was an outsider
scanning the results who noticed the inconsistency, which election
officials are calling an isolated malfunction of a single voting
machine. Hmmmmmm. Brings to mind the old saying 'vote early and
vote often'. Apparently so.

Now YOU are giving them too much credit.

"Election? What that this month?"
"Did Hilary win? I Hope not."
