Yes.
I don't care what he meant. The statement 'Most Americans don't vote at all' is not technically incorrect with respect to the last elections. I addressed this in the first paragraph of my post, why are you insisting? 😕
However..

can we have a separate, temporary forum for the US election, so we can get all the dross out of the debates forum?
Should only be needed for a couple of months - they should have sorted out the legal challenges and everything else by xmas.

Okay, just to put a cap on it, for all you diehards (or should I say fellow diehards?):
Voter turnout in this year's U.S. presidential election topped 125 million, according to unofficial estimates. The true figure will undoubtedly be higher.
The total number of eligible voters is 208 million, give or take a few.
We're in the vicinity of 60 percent. Most Americans do not vote, but the majority of those who can... do.
