You apparently don't live in California, where every fourth November, voter turnout is abysmally low. We have 52 electoral votes, but the exit polls run by the networks let everyone know on the way to work which way the voting is swinging, so many people don't bother voting, since they pretty much figure they know who the winner will be, so why vote?

In a similar way, press coverage of one product over another can influence voting here. It's all a matter of how it's handled by the journalists.
