Voter turnout in my town (Pennsylvania) has depressed me (and a weird ballot thing).

I just voted on my way home from work. In a town where the population is almost 12,000 people, I was only the 85th Democrat to vote at my polling place today.

The weird ballot thing: the ballots for Republicans had a blue stripe along the side, while the ballots for Dems had a reddish-pink stripe along the side.

1. yeah my husband was 88 as of 5:30 or so. The woman who put the module in

actually said to me "well, it doesn't matter anyway." I said to her, well of course it matters, and the primary actually matters more! They must be really strapped for workers there. :( :wtf: Then why have you spent all day at the polling place? :wow:





You would think that having the Gov and Senator up for grabs would be at least some incentive... :shrug:

2. I understand that the typical turnout in an "off year" primary election

in PA is 20%. I just heard that this afternoon, and I'm not sure that it's valid, bu tthe showing has been very poor so far - maybe the flood will come after 6PM...or mabe never.

I am hoping the Democrats turned out and the republicans stayed home, but we have to wait and see...
I was #16 at 9:30 this morning...

Turnout was abysmal this morning.
