When you look at the total votes cast for Mayor its 6751 divide that by the number of precincts 65 and you get 103 votes per precinct. SAD

Lets look at the numbers even further, lets say there is 39,000 registered voters that equates to 600 per precinct. That is 17% percent of the registered voters are casting a ballot.

We must do better as an electorate to get people to the polls!



UPDATE:

Looking at the unofficial results, Fitzgerald did not lose a single precinct, he tied 2 one with George and one with Demro.

The largest turnout or votes cast was 158, the lowest was 18.

Just amazing to me again that people don't care about primaries!
