i think it's the electoral college system that keeps a lot of people from voting. For example, Connecticut always goes to the Democrats... it's pretty much guaranteed to be a Dem landslide. so, if I vote Democrat, I'm basically wasting my vote because the college votes from CT are going to be Democrat no matter what I do.
There really is no need for the electoral college anymore, IMHO. We no longer live in the days when all the votes were counted and then delivered to Washington via horseback.
