From Politics1:

Pro football Hall of Famer and businessman Lynn Swann (R) fumbled the ball when it came to his history of casting ballots in elections. Over the last 18 years, Swann entirely missed voting in 20 out of 36 elections — including 13 out of 18 GOP primaries and one Presidential general election. “He regrets not voting, and he should have voted,” said Swann’s spokesperson. She suggested that Swann’s travel schedule over the years explained his poor voter record.

I’m not saying that politicians have to be model citizens…they rarely are. However, this story highlights that Swann is not a true civil servant. Real civil servants vote! Once the novelty wears off, he will fizzle out.
