People can feel free to add to my list:


1. Feeling a disconnect between the ways "of the past" and contemporary issues/concerns. If they voted years ago, they may reminisce about who they voted for in the past and may even say that the current politicans aren't worth it.
2. A lack of access to information on the candidates and voting, particularly in certain areas and with certain socioeconomic groups.
3. Frustration with the outcome of previous elections--and typical voter apathy
4. Schedules conflict with elections and they don't have the info or the interest to do absentee ballots, etc.
5. The same impatience and intolerance for ALL politicans that I have but it's possibly magnified due to a combo of demographic factors.
I keep hearing about "I don't want to be called for jury duty. How lame is that?
