Stop Whining About Voter Turnout

Tuesday’s election had the biggest non-presidential election turnout in Arizona history, but pundits are still complaining because that only represents 50% of registered voters. The cry is “where are the other 50%?” Answer: They are either uneducated about the elections or they just don’t care. But, in either case we should not want them to vote. If you try to push people to vote who either are uneducated or uninterested, all you will get are those who want more “stuff” from the government, that is, an expansion of the welfare state. This may be actually be a goal for some liberals but it should not be a goal for anyone who wants government to protect liberty and to stop stealing so much of our money.
