Low Voter Turnout, Again

According to the Shawnee Dispatch, here are the results for the voter turnout in last week's mayoral primary:


"Of 40,272 registered voters in Shawnee, only 3,437 cast ballots in the Feb. 28 primary, according to the Johnson County Election Office’s precinct report. That’s a turnout of 8.5 percent.


Broken down, turnout in Ward I was 10.8 percent, Ward II was 9.3 percent, Ward III was 5.7 percent and Ward IV was 8 percent."


Interesting, that, as usual, Ward III has the worst turnout in the city.  Ahhhhhh, yes, the Ward that gives the city Kuhn and Vaught on the council..............
