That's pretty damn pathetic. |
Actually when I got to my voting location in St. Mary's last night, I had a 30 minute wait in line, and while waiting talked to the Women's League of Voters. They said voter turn out at that time was 69.5% for the county and the voting had not stopped since they opened the doors and were looking at (with an hour to go) a possible 80% voter turn out if the flow kept up. They said last presidential election the county had under 51% voter turn out. Pretty impressive.
