7 out of top 10 during Trump's presidential terms. My take is that civil duty to protest is stronger than voting for non-Republicans, maybe if elections were on saturdays instead of tuesdays...

You only have to vote once every 4 years. Do both.

Two years in most states. Every year in some states.

If you're only voting in the presidential election, then you are effectively giving Republicans your vote during midterms.

Absolutely vote in every election.

If there is a civic duty in a democracy, this is it.
