                  I know we never manage to motivate many people to
                  vote, but 86 votes is really

                  low, even for us:(

                
              Yes, I was checking out the voter count on other pollings
              and the turnout is around 100. Disappointing. :(

              
              Lack of awareness or advertising? I voted.
            

            I've heard from several people (warning anecdata!) that
              they often don't vote when they are happy with the way
              things are.  One person specifically said they didn't vote
              because they liked the whole slate of candidates and were
              ok with whomever won.
          
        
    This was the first time I've ever voted despite using Fedora from
    the beginning (well, RH 4.0 days actually).  Anyway, much of what's
    been said here holds true for me.  Why did I vote this time?  It
    certainly wasn't because I hoped for a change, rather it was just me
    trying to increase my involvement.  Oddly enough, after reading the
    Q&A of each contender I realized my proper vote would
    effectively be a no-op.

    
    So the universe is telling me that my vote on FESCo could have a
    significant impact, yet I'm happy regardless of the outcome. 
    Meanwhile, my vote for US elections has almost zero impact, yet I
    can't be happy with the outcome.  Why does it feel like Douglas
    Adams is behind all of this?  :-)

    
            We can debate if this is good or bad, but it does mean
              that low turn out is not automatically bad.
          
        
    I agree.  I don't see this as bad.  In fact, I might argue that it
    is most definitely good.  Therefore, in that spirit, congrats to
    all, winners and "losers".
