Just 20% Voter Turnout in LA Tuesday.

[Inkfreak]

America's 2nd largest city. And only 20% can be bothered. Such a shame.

"Tuesday’s election is a run-off from the March 5 primary, which drew the second lowest voter turnout in LA history at just 20 percent.

The March primary in 2009 that elected outgoing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was the lowest in the city’s history at about 17 percent, according to data from the Los Angeles City Clerk obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

May 27, 1969 marked the peak for LA voters, with as much as 75 percent of registered Angelenos casting ballots for then-mayor Sam Yorty, according to the data."

2. I suppose it does speak to the candidates.

But I don't really know much about them I'm a NYer. The politicians aside, there are other things to vote on. I just read a thread about Prop C passing. Which had something to do with Citizens United. I think it was more of a "stand against" kinda thing. No actual law. I've yet to fully read about it.

I guess I just believe if ya can vote, vote!! What if all those voters came out to the polls & passed marriage equality? That's an example of course. But voting can mean power. I'm sorta an idealist that way. Voting is very important to me. I never missed an election I could vote in.
