Historically, the folks here in Shawnee show a very poor turn out for city elections, a little better when it's a governor's race, and somewhat better when it is a presidential race.
Here are the figures for the last 2 presidential races:
2012 72.54% 42344 Registered 30718 voted (approx. 12000 did not vote)
2008 79.10% 40791 Registered 32266 voted (approx. 8500 did not vote)
That's a lot of folks not exercising their rights.
There are still countries in the world where folks don't have that right.
Please, vote tomorrow (unless of course you already used early voting.............we don't want to be like Chicago
