Low voter turnout is shameful
Dan Tackett
It surely seems I’ve been down this road before, but here I go once again. And I’m still as puzzled as I was on previous trips.
The central focus here is voter turnout. Actually, it’s all about the lack of voter turnout when it comes to citizen decision-making when it comes to choosing leaders for the city of Lincoln. What prompts this voyage down this familiar passage are the numbers registered this week in the city’s Republican primary election for mayor and in one ward for nomination to run for an aldermanic seat.
