You've got it backwards: people don't vote for a number of reasons. Many don't because elitists in politics constantly tell them they're too stupid or ignorant to know what's good for them, lecture about civic duty, and ignore the very real problems they have in their lives. Ignoring the real problems that exist in registering or getting to the polls doesn't help.

There are also concerted voter suppression campaigns against certain groups who may be unlikely to vote for a particular candidate.

If the cause of someone not voting is politicians saying they are too stupid to vote, maybe they really shouldn't vote.
