Get out and vote!

America just doesn't take its elections seriously enough. Our last two elections, we got about 55% of the voting-age population going to the polls, and that was unusually high.

Now take a look at Iran. Why, in some towns, their voter turnout was as high as 141%. Now that's a country that takes its democracy seriously.

They're clearly exaggerating. Nobody ever *genuinely* clears the 130% mark.

OMG! Hmm... using my elite public school education... eight years of "Good job, Brownie" management techniques... that makes them ten times as committed to democracy!
