	Traditionally, the United States has had the second worst voter
turnout of all nations that have an elective government~. Second, that is,
only to Botswana.
	Well, this year, for still unexplained reasons, the voter turnout in
Botswana swelled to almost 70%, well eclipsing the United State's 52.4%, and
leaving the United States with the world's worst voter turnout.
