Imagine, if you can, a national election in the United States in which, during the weeks and months leading up to Election Day, rampant and random violence targeted voters and election workers.
Imagine if your neighborhood poll worker - usually a retired person with some time on his or her hands - was murdered or suffered the murder of a family member because of his or her participation in the election process.
Imagine that the election finally arrives, and close to 40 people who dare to show up at the polls are blown apart by suicide bombers.
Think there would be more than 60 percent national voter turnout?
