  Said a Melrose, Massachusetts, housing engineer in 1980, "Every politician is the same, regardless of whether he&aposs in Boston or Washington. That&aposs why a lot of us may choose not to vote this November." As a result, people are focusing forts on the local level. There, one sees not apathy but intense political activity.   There has been a gradual but pronounced shift of power out of the hands of elected officials to direct ballot voting through local initiatives and rerenda where people, not officials, decide by a majority vote a certain course of action. Politicians matter less and less. So there is a declining interest in national political elections. It is a natural consequence of the shift from a representative to a participatory democracy.   Political commentators and the media, of course, see this as anything but natural. We are constantly upbraided for apathy and for taking democracy for granted. And by now we all feel even guilty about it.   We should not. Low voter turnout does not automatically signal trouble in democracy.In any event, exceptionally high turnout is not necessarily the wonderful thing the commentators would have us believe it is. Worldwide, the highest turnouts occur in totalitarian states. For example, only one voter failed to turn out in Albania&aposs 1978 general election; North Korea counts on a full 100-percent turnout; and in Romania and East Germany the vote hovers at around 99 percent.   Political analysis used to associate low turnout with apathy or ignorance. But as the electorate becomes better educated, more informed, and more assertive, that rationalization is becoming increasingly difficult to substantiate. Analysts are finally beginning to understand that voters are making a conscious decision not to participate.   We have pulled the essence of political power out of the hands of our elected representatives and reinvested it into two main areas: (1) the direct ballot vote of initiatives and rerenda and (2) grassroots political activity. In both cases citizens, not politicians, decide on a course of action and live with it.   1. As used in the passage, pronounced most nearly means   A. marked.   B. outspoken.   C. recited.
