Come All Ye Non-Voters

This Biblical quote (1 Thessalonians 5:14-18) comes from "Verse and Voice," an e-mail newsletter from Sojourners Magazine:

We urge you, beloved, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them. See that none repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I wonder if we can include non-voters among the idlers and fainthearted? I seek to admonish and then -- somehow -- encourage them to do their duty.
