Voter turnout yesterday in Floyd County was marginally better, but still pretty bad.


My primary interest is the one in 2019 (see what I did there), and maybe there'll be something to talk about once my Canon hangover dissipates. Until then, these tweets ...

Floyd County turnout higher than 2014, by Chris Morris (Tom May Digest)

NEW ALBANY — At first glance Floyd County's voter turnout for Tuesday's primary election was on the dismal side. Out of 57,260 registered voters, only 9,619 cast ballots — or 16.8 percent.

However, four years ago in the primary, only 7,897 voters turned out — 15.9 percent. And it looks like more Democrats voted in the 2018 Primary. According to the Floyd County Clerk's office, 5,070 Democrats voted, while 4,549 Republicans went to the polls.
