Honestly I dont think its the day. Voting is more akin to voting for your favorite person in a high school election. Empty promises, banter about change and what they can do for you and yet when they are elected...nothing. I think people dont vote because they dont see the changes a candidate makes affecting their own lives. For most people, they could care less about who is in office.... they see it more as a popularity thing.

I know you'll say, but if the republicans have power this can happen! or if the dems have power that can happen!... but really most people wont see changes that either of those in office make in their own lives. You know unless of course your in that upper echelon of people who have a shitload of money... then you care.
