If more Gore voters or more Bush voters turned out, the victory may have been more decisive for either candidate. Voters are aware of this, because the media do discuss the low voter turn-out (although our elected representatives don't), but will voters come out in droves for this 2002 election series? I don't think so. Maybe 40% over the whole US, and in some areas of the Bay Area, maybe as low as 30%. Also, while the Florida fiasco may still be remembered by the voters, I don't think voters know what, exactly, they can do about it. I mean, who exactly will they try to vote out of office? EDEW
