I often feel like I’m preaching to the choir when
I write this column, but just like the coverage we provide for the elections, which seems to attract fewer and fewer voters, especially in off-year elections, I feel like it is my civic duty to encourage folks to get to the polls.
This year is an off-off year and will only see an extremely small percentage of the voters who come out during a presidential election.
And since I’m a betting man of sorts, I’ve got a cup of coffee for anyone who thinks turnout will be above 25 percent in the county.
Any takers?
I didn’t think so.
And it’s such a shame. It really is.
We’re about to elect folks responsible for setting our property taxes.
We’re about to elected judges who will decide the fate of our fellow man.
