Reply #11: Corrrection to 1996 Perot Debates...

[slenderfungus]

Oops, my bad... Ross Perot was actually excluded from participating in the 1996 debates, which ended up having the lowest voter turnout of only 49%. However, Ross Perot did participate in the 1992 debates and the voter turnout was a noticeably higher 55.1%. So, having corrected myself, I think that actually provides some support for the point I was making regarding voter turnout being influenced by the voting public perception of a valid third party candidate thrown into the mix.
