A Patch of Sun
The question of the week in the paper for this edition was "Did you vote in the Spring Election?" As I said before, for our municipality it was around 30% turnout. The news reported that statewide turnout was also 30%. The response to the paper's question was 70% said they had voted in the recent election. As w/ most raw numbers that could mean a couple of things. For instance, do people like to say they are civic minded (even in an anonymous poll) when they aren't? -or- Do people that like to take the paper's poll also tend to vote in elections? However that's not the most interesting part of the paper's question. "Undecided" garnered 3% of responses even though the question was asked after the election had already occurred.
