What Is the Cause of Low Voter Turnout in the U.S.A.?

I do not think it is very hard to understand the reasons for the low voter turnout in the U.S.A. I talked about one of the reasons for his, the Electoral College. When voters cast a vote in the presidential elections they are not voting for the presidential candidate directly but for a member of the Electoral College who is not obligated to vote in any particular way. There have been presidents who were voted into office by the Electoral College without winning the popular vote. Many people feel that their vote really does not make much difference in the presidential election. As for voting for members of Congress many of feel that whoever we elect into office will really not represent the people they are elected to represent. Instead they represent the people and corporations who finance their campaigns. They also are more likely to do what lobbyists want instead of what the general population want. I distrust the Democratic Party less than I distrust the Republican Party, but I do not really trust either party. I would like to see a stronger Socialist Party. We need strong election reforms in this country. The political system in this country is broken, and it needs to be fixed.
