Were it only true. Voter turnout for the 2000 Presidential election was 51.3%. That's shockingly low, but actually up from about 49% in 1996.
Considering that less than 20% of people surveyed were able to distinguish Iraq from Al Qaeda, I think the numbers speak for themself. If all 50% of eligible Americans that
won't be voting belonged to the group of Americans who couldn't distinguish Iraq from Al Qaeda (83%!), that leaves 33% still voting who don't understand what is going on. That's a pretty alarming figure.
