That's a hollow comparison. The population in the USA is growing so it would rather seem odd that total voting numbers go down ... there have been voting rights for women, voting rights for certain minorities, the massive influx of South Vietnamese refugess in the 70-ies...the number of eligible voters steadily increased.
