    Genes Get Out the Vote

    TUESDAY, July 1 (HealthDay News) -- Heading to the polls on Nov. 4? If so, your genes may be driving you there, a new study suggests.

    In fact, as much as 50 percent of whether you vote or not may be genetically determined, says a team at the University of California, San Diego. Genes may even be more important to your tendency to cast a ballot than family political history.


    "Both nature and nurture play a role in voting," said lead author James H. Fowler, an associate professor of political science. "We expected genes would play a little bit of a role, but we were surprised how strong [a] role they played." (end excerpted portion)

    I was hoping there would be scientific information on why some people should vote and others not.

    So I guess the "don't vote" gene must be dominant since turnout gets lower each and every year?
