NJ- More registered Independents than Dems and Reps COMBINED

[Captain Shays]

New Jersey has more registered Independent voters than Democrat and republican Combined! This is a HUGE demographic for us to tap if you live here. Lets get working on that rather than convert Republicans or Democrats.

If you don't live in New Jersey, check your state registry so you can focus on the independents.

Thanks

I also want to point out that in EVERY election the majority of eligible voters don't vote. That means by proxy that they don't vote for Democrats and Republicans. So in every election the majority of eligible voters don't vote for Democrats and Republicans. Pass that fact around. Make everyone aware of it.
Because as we Ron Paul supporters know full well, the polls are very misleading. They don't even consider those who don't vote or didn't vote in the last election. The results given may say that 40% voted for such and such candidate and 35% voted for the other. What they don't tell you is that those numbers are relfective of those who voted, not the total number of eligible voters.
I could make the argument that those who didn't vote, in the booth, voted for none fo the above by not voting. They didn't like either candidate, or didn't see a difference between them, or didn't recognize how either one's election would affect their world enough to choose between them. To be fair, it could easily be assumed that they liked both candidates equally so chose not to vote.
Either way, they didn't vote, and they weren't counted by two means. They weren't counted by the vote totals and they weren't counted in the results.
When you ad the totals for the third party voters to the outcome, the disparity is even greater.

Lets say that 51% of eligible voters didn't vote. Of the 49% who did vote, 4% voted for the consortium of third party candidates. That leaves only 45% who did vote for the Democrat and Republican. Now, lets say that the race was as close as it was in Fla in 2000. We can effectively divide the number down the middle which means that only 22.5% of voters elected Bush. But we know that Al Gore took a little more of the popular vote so lets ad that back on which would bring it up to 23% at best who would have elected Gore had the SC case gone in his favor.
These numbers are actually pretty close to what actually happened and they totally dispell the claims by our Democrat cousins who are still crying about how Bush stole the election or how Ralph Nader cost Gore the election.
They would rather bitch about the 2,000 people in Fla who didn't vote for Gore but voted for nader than acknowledge that Gore lost his own state, and Clintons state and that 77% of eligible voters in this country chose not to vote for Gore.

Whats my point? We need to reach those who are eligible to vote but don't. They're the majority. lets get them registered today!
