Unfortunately, people would rather go blindly into the voting booths and vote among party lines, which is really sad at this point.
Back in 2010, we had a couple of local politicians who really needed to go. One of my clients, who is annoyingly vocal, came in to tell me she had voted.

"Well, congratulations. Whaddaya want, a medal or something? So, did you vote for X or Y to replace candidate Z?"

"Oh, I don't remember. I just hit the red button all the way down. Go me! The most rudimentary civic involvement is an excuse for insufferable self-righteousness!"

That was paraphrased. Except for the "red button" part. That, regrettably, is verbatim.
