They don't always self-elect, unless you want to say someone that just can't make it because they have a work/childcare schedule that makes it difficult.

Nah. We’re talking about maybe an hour, ONCE A YEAR. They manage to go bowling, stop off for lotto tickets, watch Oprah, etc etc etc. The average person in the US pisses away that kind of time on a weekly if not daily basis, and in a lot of states they can request a mail-in ballot. I’m all for those when they’re requested from a real person at a physical address.

No, they don’t vote because it’s not a priority. I don’t think that makes them bad people, but I’d just as soon they not vote. I get it; somewhere Honeybooboo’s mom has never left her trailer to cast a ballot, and you want her to vote. Just don’t pretend this is some high-minded civic ideal you have; nobody’s buying that. We all know why you want them to vote.
