Mental Vote?!

I met someone this morning who said they cast a "mental vote" for this election season.  And this person was happy with the results.

I find it interesting a person who did not vote would care one way or the other how an election turned out.  By not voting, all you are doing is trusting your opinion to the majority.  Basically, whatever they decide is alright with you.

Here in Indiana, we were voting not only for the President of the United States, we were also voting for a new Governor, a Senator, and a Congressman.  Not to mention the local and state government offices as well. 

That is a lot of trust and faith to place in the electorate to not place an actual vote, but instead cast the "mental vote."

On a side note, the Associated Press is reporting voter turnout is lower than 2008 and even in 2004.  However, early voting in 2012 was higher than 2008.  According to this news and the aforementioned person who cast their "mental vote," it is safe to say the majority of Americans are not Republican, Democrat, Independent or undecided.  They are uncaring.
