Those 18,000 people were so sick of the mindless, mudslinging, negatively driven political claptrap that we are all subjected to every two years, that they all stayed home due to drastically decreased brain-function. If they had, in fact, attempted to drive to their polling places, they would have posed such a hazard to pedestrians and other drivers, that the entire city would have shut down, thereby completely disrupting the voting system.
