      In the last congressional election voter turnout was 46%. The last time a midterm was higher than 50% was in the 1910s.

        You said people won’t vote, you can’t pick and choose when they do vote in higher numbers than you’re saying in presidential elections.

          Last time I checked, senator Markwayne Mullin was not voted in as president.

          So I didn’t make the comment that you initially replied to. I was only offering some data that showed there are a lot of national elections where voter turnout was less than half. It’s true that presidential elections have a higher turnout than midterm but all of the house and ⅓ of the Senate are voted on in every midterm. They’re incredibly important and it’s a fact that less than half of eligible Americans turn out for those elections.
