Note: this is the same judge who filing a Supreme Court brief in the famous Lawrence v. Texas comparing homosexual acts to "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography and even incest and pedophilia."

Other notes: he is also known for his criticism of Roe v. Wade and spearheading the effort to remove Roy Moore for refusing to remove the 10 commandments statue from the courthouse.

Insane zealots always vote, so not voting is assuring that the right-wing wins.
EDIT - ok so they removed all the reformists, they still had a higher % voting than the US in a presidential election.
