Stats are allways problamatic anyway. Like Mark Twain said, " There are two kinds of Liars, poloticians and stataticians. The two generally work together too.

Close, it works out to 37% of all Americans participated in the 2000 election. And then about 47% of those folks voted for Bush.
This is why I never associate a population directly with it's political leadership.
