Just like DU, much of the country seems fixated on the king. If a President is being elected, they vote. If it is just a Governor, state legislators, congresspeople (even Senators) then many just do not care.
We will have city elections next April (and I always try to promote those to the County party (although one guy said to me recently - city council is where political ambitions go to die)).
Even fewer people will vote.
