I found this to be very interesting though, and it seems to show what little faith people have in the process itself. Look at the chart above the article:
Even in the last presidential election, just 56 percent of could-be voters showed up to the polls. In fact, in hundreds of counties around the U.S., the number of eligible individuals who did not vote far outweighed the number of ballots actually cast for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016. If those millions of no-shows had picked “nobody” on the ballot—the effective choice of their abstention—“nobody” would have won in a landslide.

IMO cant go by one election, especially the Clinton-Trump, Democrats assumed they would win easily, the deomcratic turnout overall was weak compared to the avid Trump supporters.
The article goes deeper than just 2016. Here's a quote:
"Lack of voter turnout is a problem in nearly every city, not just every four years, but every year in local elections. According to an analysis from Portland State University, turnout in the nation’s largest 30 cities is a dismal 20 percent of the voting age population."
I couldn't find much hard data, but most articles and data seemed to be of this general consensus

Over time some cities have had over 100% voter turnout, do the research, and that is BEFORE the incredibly added incentive to boost the votes by employing the total popular vote. You eliminate the electoral college the incentive to cheat goes up exponentially. Just wait til you see the voter turnout in NYC, LA, San Fran, Chicago, Detroit. They wil magically all be in the 90% if not over 100%.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is what I found:
Cities lead the nation in many ways, but not in voter turnout

I'm taping this so I can watch it again later.
The Jets are going to have to do it, and pretend they're very interested.

Offense wise = Yes
Defense has done a decent job only letting up 6pts in a half.

Anyone else depressed about how they are playing?
I know... lots of backups but I was hoping some of these guys would be making the most of their opportunities..
The defense is holding up

I really think that is Trent Edwards and not Matt Barkley.
lol
To be fair MB should be checking down, because his arm isn't up to the passes he's attempting

Lee Smith sucks so bad.
TE2 is a need in the offseason. Really think we can sign a good one in FA.
How about Austin Hooper to match with Knox?
Have you given up on Kroft already?

He specifically said cities, and even listed each of them. Again, the data is elusive, so I'm not going to argue something that can't be proven, but when 20% of voting age people are voting I can't see what crazy math it would take to say that 100% of registered voters voted.
