Political pundits say undecided voters will determine the election, but little is said about people who aren’t voting. Since the 1960s, voter turnout has steadily declined in the U.S., which already ranks near the bottom among established democracies. In 2008, 64 percent of voting-age citizens voted, compared with 93 percent in Chile, 86 percent in Germany and 74 percent in Canada.

Broken down, the least likely voters have the lowest level of education. In fact, the most pronounced voting gap in 2008 was not between young and senior (49 to 72 percent) but between those without a high school degree and those with advanced degrees – 39 percent to 83 percent.

The wealthier are more likely voters -- 52 percent of those whose annual family income is less than $20,000 voted versus 80 percent among those whose families bring in more than $100,000. That could be partly because low-income people have more trouble taking time off work to vote.

The candidates made the rounds of their neighborhood, canvassing voters who live in canvas.

Residents of Tent City, the encampment of homeless people living in the woods of Lakewood, New Jersey recently held an election to approve rules for the camp, and to elect delegates to represent their interests in dealings with the outside world.

Gregory "Pops" Maple was 1 of 3 Tent City residents chosen to represent the camp. The 62-year-old's best qualification may be that he's a great listener.

This is the seventh winter the camp will have experienced, but the first with any regulations.

They include respecting each other and keeping the peace. Drugs and illegal weapons are prohibited. No going into someone else's tent without their permission.

Issues in the election included who gets the next available heater.

With no one but themselves to police the speed limits of their gated a community, a homeowners association in Colorado has set up a radar system and begun issuing tickets to speeders.

Drivers caught violating the max. 30 mph speed limit in the community will be subject for fines from anywhere from $15 to $100, depending on how fast they are driving.

If the violating driver is a visitor of the subdivision, their ticket will be given to whichever homeowner they are visiting at the time.

Barely-legal Justin Bieber is being initiated into adulthood with his very own sex doll.

Enter the

"Just-in Beaver" blow-up sex doll made by Pipedream Products.

The plastic, bisexual boy toy, touted to be "Finally 18!" and "Ready to Rock Your World!," is modeled by a Bieber lookalike wearing a sideways hat and a boyish grin.

The "Girlfriend" singer

celebrated his 18th birthday back in March <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/29/justin-bieber-birthday-singer-18-photos_n_1311530.html>, and now the sex toy industry is celebrating Bieber's manhood with a "love doll" in his likeness.

"Meet Just-In Beaver, the barely legal boy-toy who's waited 18 long years to stick his lil' dicky in something sticky!"

reads Pipedream's description of the Bieber sex doll. "When he's not busy beating up paparazzi or beating off, he's up to his high-tops in hot Hollywood tail! But the Beave-ster doesn't have this effect just on women -- he turns straight men gay faster than you can peel his skinny jeans off! So what are you waiting for, inflate this lil’ pricks's ego even more and have your very own Beaver bash!"

Just-in Beaver

is available for purchase on Amazon, with prices ranging from $20 to $138.

The doll follows the California-based company's

"Finally Mylie," a sex doll made to resemble the now 19-year-old former Disney star, Miley Cyrus.

Bieber's kinky counterpart may not be available for long. Even though Bieber himself is not named in the product or product description, the teenybopper could sue for the company's use of his celebrity. "

Considering the doll is unlicensed , chances are it won’t be available to the public for very long,"

While the sex doll may be marketed toward gay men, Bieber is already a hit with many lesbians -- or at least his once famous haircut is. Dannielle Owens-Reid, is "a biebian from South Carolina who loves Justin Bieber and the lesbians who look like him."
