Ok replace the word attack with the word use.... Doesn't change anything.

And so we can put the whole damn issue behind us, here are the populations of the U.S. in recent history:

1980 :226,545,805
1990: 248,709,873
2000: 281,421,906

No data yet for 2004 on the site I used (cause there hasn't been another census yet).

EDIT: As I mentioned before, this is just basic population- it does not take into account the number of voting-aged people or the number of registered voters.

EDIT #2: Here is a look at some numbers from 2000

Voting age population: 205,815,000
Number of registered voters: 156,421,311
Number of turnout: 105,586,274

That's 67.5% of registered voters.

Haven't looked for other years yet.
