#15: The numbers I cited were for Kansas only; I didn't go through each state, but you are probably right. Roughly 1/3 of American voters are apathetic. BTW: The average eligible voter turnout for Canada's general elections since 1867 has been 70.5%, so Canadian voters are only slightly less apathetic than their southern neighbors.
