School is out and with 8,458 (almost 40% of the registered voters) taking advantage of early voting (7,278) or absentee ballots (1,180), there should be shorter lines and plenty of parking.
How much of a turn out will we end up with? For the last three presidential elections we were in the low 80% range. Early voting is new this time around. What effect will that have on the turn out? It may be hard to say definitively given the state of the national political campaigns. What matters is that folks do get out to vote. In the democratic way, we'll live with what the results are.
Presidential 2004 83.2%
Presidential 2008 84.4%
Presidential 2012 83.4%
Presidential 2016 ???
