Don't strike me as being part of the subset of Americans who can't be bothered to vote.

Yes, they'll vote. I'd bet most are regular voters.

I think the question is will the people who are sitting at home watching these acts of defending democracy and the constitution...will THEY come out to vote?

Something big is happening...I pray it's good-big.
