Quote:While his point is noted--that some people in the United States who are low income can't vote due to their immigration status--he is wrong that poor people want to vote.I was speaking only of illegal immigrants there, not people who just don't vote. :)
When people can but don't vote, it's been my experience they got tired of choosing the lesser of 2 evils and/or are just frustrated with the system. Also a feeling of not really making a difference is there. It will be interesting to see how much the 2000 election, with so many states in statistical ties, influence people who thought like that.
