Do Americans care for who their president is?

Your mistake is that you count out of all people.

Somewhere around 25% aren't even old enough to vote. And as it is in the winter, a lot of old people might not bother voting, in Norway, that equals almost 10% of the population (people not voting due to problems getting there).

So in all, roughly 1/3 people should be unable to vote due to other reasons than that they don't want to. This means that around 200 million people can vote, and if your 125M number is true, then that means that 62.5% vote. I think I recall that in western Europe that number is at around 70%, but that doesn't account for people who cannot get there, so I think it's pretty close (with western Europe a bit higher than Americas).

 

 

Yeah, I mistook the 2 out of 5 but it doesn't matter... With 300M people, 200M can easily vote... 125 out of 200 it's way too few people...

125M is this year, which is said to be a record... Dunno where I read it (somewhere in the net)...

You have to factor that several aren't able to vote because of age, criminal history or disability.  I'm sure a large chunk of the three hundred million Americans can be factored out because of this.
