Default Such a small % vote!

I have heard (not researched) that about 20% of all eligible voters, vote on election days. This is such a small percentage of turnout that it is not a representation of the majority and I am sure the formula works in the odds of big money politicians.
What if 80% of the voters voted at election time, wouldn't't that be a shock to the politicians who have already run the numbers based on the "Apathetic" response of the usual turnout ( 20% ?)on election day.
Damn I would love to see it in my lifetime.
