The truth of the matter is a frightening reality - voter apathy!
Turnout was only 29,000 among the more than 560,000 registered voters in the congressional district, a democratic stronghold that includes the counties of broward, palm beach and santa rosa.
This means that of the 29000 people that voted, the winner was determined by 5800 people.
So, 531,000 people gave up their right to complain about the outcome and whatever comes of it weather it be another gun ban or whatever.
Disappointing to say the least.
If you don't want a gun ban or micro stamping or your rights taken away then vote.
If you don't vote and these thing happen, then sit down and shut up!
You gave up the right to complain.
