Voters have many excuses for not voting. It's true that candidates are flawed. It's difficult to get time off of work on Election Day to vote. Some voters may be out of town at school taking exams or even out of the country for study-abroad programs or for work. Others may have transportation issues. Some citizens feel that their vote will not make a difference. Some people seem to be busy with their own lives and are not aware of who the candidates are and what opinions they have on a variety of issues.
