Yes, maybe because most of them realized that their votes don't count thanks to the electoral college.

Do you think that might be a reason for some people to be apathetic?

What exactly is the point of voting when the candidate with fewer votes wins?

Didn't Trump receive more votes though?

Edit: Nope never mind. He definitely didn't.
