Get me rewrite: A helluva lot of Democrats avoid elections other than the quadrennial Presidential

Capital Times, 10/23/2016

672,908 Wisconsin Democratic voters in 2008 sat out the 2010 midterm election. 

505,042 Wisconsin Democratic voters in 2012 sat out the 2014 midterm election. 

It's not just a Wisconsin pattern. And it's one that can't be blamed solely on millenials.

2008-2010 drop in Democratic vote totals:  40.1%
2008-2010 drop in Republican vote totals:    8.2%
2012-2014 drop in Democratic vote totals:  31.2%
2012-2014 drop in Republican vote totals:  11.0%
