Did they do their research and can they explain why both candidates suck? I have a feeling that they did not do their research and the statement is a reflexive excuse to justify their laziness and/or cowardice.
"The GOP nominee was a RINO"
Again, did they do their research and can they explain why the candidate is a RINO, other than they do not like the candidate personally?
"It's a red state anyway so my vote wouldn't matter"
Not going to be a red state for much longer with that attitude!
"I didn't know this was an election year"
Every year is an election year, even if it was for local and state offices. They all are just as important as the federal level/Presidential elections. If they do not know before, inform them all of this and make sure they know from now on.
I also did some asking around and the most common answers were:
"Both candidates sucked"
"The GOP nominee was a RINO"
"It's a red state anyway so my vote wouldn't matter"
and
"I didn't know this was an election year"
