Why are people so upset that Rahm Emanuel was elected mayor yet only 580k people voted?

First Jay Cutler now Chicagoans are crying about Rahm but a whopping percentage of them didn't vote.

Update:

If you claim he took the seat by criminal means look at how many people voted.

    Believe it or not, some people get upset by having their public officials seated by criminal means.

    Crooked Obama politics... watch for Chicago to support Obama in next election, one way or another. Barry likes to get the mafia on his side and little old Rahm will make certain of this. This was all a game...

    People that hate anything connected to Obama are going to whine about a local election. Most the people that I hear complaining about this mayoral electio don't even live in Illinois let alone Chicago. Its very personal to these people... it seems a wierd and unhealthy obsession with hating Obama and anyone connected to him.

    Americans get the government we deserve. Vote people! Or don't complain.
