I ask this too, because I am in the 18-25 range and I vote...so do all of my friends. I was old enough in the 2000 election but was unable to vote due to a problem with my absentee ballot. They told me I did it wrong or something. I had a vote that did not count in that election...so this time I made sure that I did, and I voted early.
Although I must admit...even though I tried to vote then I only recently became interested in politics when I worked on the campaign for Haley Barbour (Gov. of Mississippi). And I also (minimally) worked for the Trent Lott re-election campaign (went door to door and stuff). So I guess I became interested in politics during college....however I registered pretty much the day I turned 18 and participated in all of the local elections and stuff.
So I guess I just don't understand why people don't vote...because I voted even when I wasn't as interested.
