What are the consequences of low voter turnout?

Probably the most important and far reaching effect of low voter turnout is the increased possibility of the election of a candidate that only represents the views/wishes of a small minority of the citizens of the voting district in which the turnout is low.For example; If candidate A represents the views of about 45% of the voters, and candidate B also represents the views of another 45% of the voters, but candidate C only represents the views of about 10% of the voters, then in an extreme case of low turnout candidate C could potentially be elected. This is especially so since "fringe" candidates like candidate C usually have "fanatical" followers who will turn out and vote in huge numbers in comparison, percentage wise, to the more "mainstream" candidates like A and B. As a recent example, look at the fanatical following of recent US Presidential candidate Ron Paul.A more likely scenario, however, is the one that just occurred in the 2008 US Presidential election in which the voters from the Republican party, feeling disenfranchised and abandoned by the leaders of their party due in no small part to the party leaders still using a "it's his turn" system of choosing a candidate, (i.e. John McCain had been a loyal Republican and had waited his turn so the party leaders decided it was now his time to run,) failed to turnout in numbers sufficient to elect their party's candidate, while voters for the Democrats turned out in huge numbers, (again, percentage wise,) in comparison and thus cleared the way for the election of Barack Hussein O'Bama as President of the United States.
