For the subject of Internet security, this is partly because it is not a subject during elections: you don't know when you vote what the candidate thinks about Internet security and what policy it will follow on things like encryption. (And, sometimes, it is worse, you know and all the candidates agree, so you don't really have a choice. This is the case with intellectual property and the digital world, for instance.)
