Every state has great measures you can vote on, but most people that tell you they understand them are either wrong or lying. The truth is, we can't tell if modifying the tax bracket for elected seniors is a going to make us go bankrupt or win us a million dollars. We just want to check the box that keeps murder illegal and bikinis on our TV. We don't really care about a tiny change to a trapping guideline for an animal we've never heard of. If a mountain man wants to trap a grizzly beaver, he can use a hot tub filled with poisoned donuts for all we care. All of the amendments that go over our heads explain why more people smoke feloniously illegal narcotics than vote (according to government statistics). In fact, the people that believe in Bigfoot finally outnumber the people that believe in voting. Eat that, George W. Bush.

Zircon no understand main point of argument.
Is main point that voters are ignorant ?
Or that voters are apathetic ?
Or that voting is futile ?
Or that voting is becoming increasingly ineffective?
etc.

Zircon think that argument should have a
more clear topic sentence or thesis statement.
Then, Zircon think that argument should have
better conclusion that does not introduce new
material not previously discussed in argument.
Also, Zircon no afraid of Bigfoot.
Zircon smaaaaaaaaaaaash Bigfoot
if Zircon want.

main point.

there is no one main point.

the primary points are many of the ones listed above. your vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds!

If I had to pick one, I'd say apathy.
