I'll send the cross-tabs on the below that I have when I get to my
other computer (within 24 hours). There were, as I recall, eight or
ten choices for not registering, one of which was not trusting the
voting systems or vote counts. The percentage under that one response
multiplied by Census Bureau data on the eligible voting population
indicated about 2.5 million people would fall under that if the poll
is valid. That was just a few percent since there were various
choices, the "none of the above" was still sizeable in terms of
percentage so my 8 or 10 choices did not cover the field. Perhaps the
number of choices that got responses together with the "none of the
above" can itself show this population is not monolithic even if the
sample size on this data is not terribly large.

couple years ago I had Zogby ask non-registered people why they
weren't registered instead of hanging up on these people, and I got a
little data on that which opened my eyes to the fact that non-voters
are by no means monolithically apathetic.
Please tell us more about that.
