There are 320M Americans, and 200M registered, no election can be considered valid when 38% have been excluded.
If you remove “registering”, then 320M, or 100%, are registered to vote. 
^Are children allowed to vote mr. analysis?
Why do you guys pander to this troll!?! Just ignore.
Also why not capture greater detail on what you actually want? Ranked voting lets you express “I would rather have Warren, but if not her then I will settle for Clinton, or last Gary, but never Trump”.
Because, what you actually want isn’t a priority. Capturing detailed data on your consuming preferences (taking your money), that isn’t is a problem at all.
Because, they know their “democracy” is a lie. 
FT is right this place is indeed turning into a crap hole. hope the LBO comes through.
If somebody doesn’t bother to register to vote, what makes you think they’d bother to vote at all?
Just stop bothering them and find out.
New Rule: citing Rolling Stone in a debate automatically disqualifies you from same.
Chad - kindly mark it down.
My thread was published first, how do we know Rolling Stone is not citing me? 
Obama is a liar and a weasel. The USG is disempowering us Obama, and that is you.
Obama stated, “And the notion that some voter suppression is keeping you from voting, as systematic as Republicans have tried to make voting more difficult for minorities, for Democrats, for young people, the truth of the matter is, if you actually want to vote, then, you can vote, and it’ll take you 15 minutes in most cases where you’ve got early vote. If there’s no early vote, then, yes, you might have to wait in line for 20 minutes, or half an hour, to vote. And, the question would be, why would you disempower yourself? Why would you give them that victory if they’re trying to keep you from voting by not voting? We disempower ourselves all the time. You can’t tell me that all those folks who don’t vote are doing so because somebody’s turned them away or somebody’s intimidated them. No, it’s because they decided they had something better to do.”
The “registering to vote” scam, and other vote scams, in action. The election is invalid no matter who “wins”.
While Hillary supporters have been working double time to register people to vote and to get people involved, Republican nominee Donald Trump has entirely disregarded that traditional aspect of campaigning – and his supporters are paying for it, in hilarious fashion…angry Trump fans who just discovered today that you need to register to vote.
…a number of issues with Trump fans attempting to vote today. “Some were ejected from polling places for wearing Trump paraphernalia, an act which constitutes passive electioneering in many states. Others were unable to properly fill in their ballots for one reason or another.”

A bit more data on the “registering to vote” scam. Only 50% of the eligible voters vote , 120 million out of 240 million. In Japan 99% are registered, because the government does their job. We already paid taxes, do your work, fix the process.
In most countries, the government takes the lead in getting people’s names on the rolls – whether by registering them automatically once they become eligible (as in, for example, Sweden or Germany) or by aggressively seeking out and registering eligible voters (as in the UK and Australia). As a result, turnout looks pretty similar regardless of whether you’re looking at voting-age population or registered voters.
In the U.S., by contrast, registration is mainly an individual responsibility. And registered voters represent a much smaller share of potential voters in the U.S. than just about any other OECD country: Only about 65% of the U.S. voting-age population (and 71% of the voting-age citizenry) was registered in 2012, according to the Census Bureau, compared with 91% in Canada and the UK, 96% in Sweden and nearly 99% in Japan.
As a consequence, turnout comparisons based only on registered voters may not be very meaningful. For instance, U.S. turnout in 2012 was 84.3% of registered voters, a relatively lofty seventh among OECD countries. But registered voters here are a much more self-selected group, already more likely to vote because they took the trouble to register themselves.
