As the news zealously covers the horserace elections non-stop today, I think it is important to keep in mind the percentage of people who didn't vote in the last midterm election was 63.6%.

Admittedly, turnout was higher in the last election, only 48.7% didn't vote.

The point is, the real winner in every election in this country is apathy.
