And what is that point? Apathy. Voter apathy.
Earlier this week the citizens of Tonganoxie voted to permit alcoholic beverage sales on Sunday.
Personally, I agree with that.
But, that is not the point. The point is the vote totals.
The measure passed 250 to 132. OK that means that 65.4% of those who voted approved the issue.
Now, when you consider that Tonganoxie has 2,897 people registered to vote that then means:
a. only 13.28% of eligible voters bothered to vote
b. 8.6% of the eligible voters made the decision for the entire city
We see a similar trend in elections here, especially when the election is just for city offices.
What a waste of a freedom that many have died for. Don't just gripe about things.......go to the polls. Get involved.
