[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Presidential primaries get good turnout and you will have to wait in line to vote. Mid-term primaries never have high turnout and this year in particular turn out is lower because the primary was moved to July and lots of people are on vacation. That is partly offset by early and mail-in voting which hasn’t been as widespread in recent years. But also, there’s a lot of post-COVID burnout and people just are not that motivated right now to vote on local issues. If the primary was last year, absolutely. This year, not so much. Also, the only serious contest is the County Executive race and it’s been blanketed by record negative ads against Elrich by a pro-Riemer SuperPAC funded by a California billionaire. All of the research is clear that negative ads depress turnout. So that’s not helping matters. [/quote] I agree, although some of us are pretty invested in choosing a candidate for governor too.
