More Satiating

Apparently the state was holding some sort of election thing yesterday and, in Boston, voter turn-out reached a 20-year low of 13.6%. (I was climbing out of bed when I heard this on the radio, so hopefully didn’t get it wrong). I try to encourage voter apathy: the fewer people vote, the less perception that the winner has any sort of mandate. There is no ballot option for “none of the above,” (much less “no one at all”), so ballot abstinence is the closest you can get to voting for no one.
