Anecdotal Voter Turnout Report - Important Purple State


I voted this morning in one of the most important purple states, in a county that normally goes Democratic by 2-1.

Abysmal turnout, even for a primary.

The voters were about 4 to 1 in the Republican line over Democratic line.

I know this is just an anecdote, but in over 20 years voting here at the morning rush, I've never seen such poor turnout. I hope this is not an indication of what will happen in this state in the GE
