My Republican Primary runoff election saw less than 100 people turn out at my precinct. Made my vote "count" for a lot of people...
LOL! Well, better you than some liberal.
Here in Illinois, we're seeing an interesting phenomenon -- democrats taking Republican ballots in the primary elections so they can elect democrats. The local dems have discovered that they can't buy a vote in the general, so they get themselves involved in the primaries, take out the conservative, then they're as good as elected. The dems don't even bother to field candidates for local races. Why spend the money when all you have to do is win the Republican primary.
This past primary season, we had a very conservative county chairman who refused to back the liberal candidate for the state senate seat. The family of the lib (real estate and construction developers) took the conservative chairman out and put in a democrat. Everyone was (and still is) terrified of the family (they fancy themselves to be Clintons, and they're white-trashy enough to pull it off), and the family now believes it's favorite son has been crowned senator for life, since they own the county chairman and the entire executive committee.
Sometimes I wonder why I reformed . . .
