if you want to give a "game theory look" you need to actually define a game.

Deleted The game is a person's decision to vote or not. Funny how everyone else understood that no problem...

Pretty sure I'm not retarded, thanks for checking though. "...a person's decision to vote or not" does not a game. I'm not just being nitty for no reason, the results change completely based on the game.
The most basic model has full information and no communication. This is a poor represenation of the real world, and so of course results won't hold. Much more interesting models exist, and many predict non-zero voter turnout.
