Comment: Then what can be done to give a voice to those that can't lift a finger to vote in local elections?   

Why should we care if conservatives don't vote in local elections?

If this was a bigger city the arguement would be that those 'poor' folks can't make a good decision anyway so who cares if they vote?   (this is from a post defending higher voter registration requirements.  And it's the truth for 90% of those claiming fraud.)   IMO

Tell the complainers to get out the vote.  

PS. I agree that liberal activist in Eugene are over represented as a portion of the population of Eugene.   Don't complain, train harder
