Interesting little factoid I heard the other day.  It seems that one of 
the greatest contributers to low voter turn out in the US isn't voter 
apathy, but incompetant culling of registration lists.	It was estimated

 that at least 10% of every districts registered voters, and as high as 
30% in some areas, are dead or have moved.  Nobody got around to taking 
them off the list of people expected to vote.  So, someone who moved 3 
times over 5 years would be counted as 4 people eligible to vote, but as

only 1 person who voted.

Anyway, I found it interesting.
