    The voter apathy is understandable. Look at Virginia’s redistricting. All that effort to get it passed and the Supreme Court of the state tosses it out on a dumb technicality.

    It’s a cut and dry example of people going out to vote and their vote meaning nothing.

      It’s not just apathy. Many states have been actively taking measures to make it more difficult for people to vote. Because they don’t want the wrong people voting.

      Discouragement is understandable, but to me apathy is not. You don’t address frustration about loss of control by giving up control. That’s like responding to a burglary by leaving your doors unlocked.
