Why is it that a lot of Americans don't vote?
<|assistant|>
Many Americans don't vote mainly because they lack the confidence that their vote will make a difference, or they may feel their voice will not be heard by their elected officials. Additionally, other external factors such as high costs associated with voting, complex voting registration processes and long lines on Election Day can be a deterrent to some potential voters. Lack of education, access and civic engagement can all lead to lower voter turnout as well.
