No one cares: Abysmal early voting turnout of 2% for NYC general election this year

[Raftergirl]

8. In my district in Cap. District of NY there are 16 races (town supervisor, board members,

judges, highway superintendent, county legislator, town clerk, receiver of taxes,) Only 4 contests are contested by a Republican, Our town supervisor and our county legislator are both running unopposed and the R’s only put up one candidate for two open spots on our town board.

When we moved here 32 years ago my town was solid red. Then about 8 years later it became solid blue. The R’s haven’t been a presence at all since then. But I don’t ever recall them not fielding a candidate for Town Supervisor or County legislator before.

Albany County Executive (D) is also running unopposed.

My H and I voted early last week.

He is working the polls today.
