Voter No. 9

1 comment April 7th, 2009

That was me this morning. I was the ninth person to vote at my polling place. That was 6:30 a.m. so I think that’s too early to determine whether voter turnout will be good or bad. It’s a nice day outside, if a bit chilly, so weather shouldn’t keep folks home.

On our podcast  I predicted 10 to 12 percent. I think I was being overly pessimistic after a bad day. Nancy Strain of the Rockford Board of Elections is predicting 45 percent to 50 percent. That seems overly optimistic.
