low voter turnout

I voted on Tuesday, very late in the day. I was only voter number 128. It seemed like a low turnout.

In today's Milwaukee paper, there was an article documenting the low turnout throughout the metro area. Bean counters are suggesting that it is not a good use of tax money to fund primary elections with such low turnouts.

There were also some complaints that people are dying in Iraq for the right to vote, and people here do not even bother.

Let us not forget that, in a free society, you have the right not to vote.
