The Atlantic's account of voters who no longer hope for an impact The Atlantic wrote: One voter says he voted for Trump three times because he believed his economic promises, but now, citing high gas costs and the Iran war, he says he will never vote again. Trump's false claims of fraud in 2020 have fueled distrust of vote counting, and some voters believe election equipment is altering votes. According to the Moshav Research Center, 41 percent of eligible voters participated in each of the last three presidential elections, and a quarter did not vote in any of them. In close races, the people who don't show up are just as important as the people who do show up. "When you lose people you can trust, Election Day becomes a gamble," said Lorena Romero Ferguson, a Republican consultant in Arizona. Amidst the conspiracies and firebrand style of today's politics, he says, both parties are demotivating and discouraging ordinary people, and both must try to reach voters who have been deliberately turned away.
