[...] a quick follow-up to yesterday’s post in which I wondered exactly how lame the turnout would be for the 26th State Senate District [...]

It sounds like LA keeps the power structure intact by holding off period elections counting on crony vote and apathy in general to keep down opposition voting. Just like my little corner that is holding its election in 3 more weeks.

Am I just being pessimistic when I say 18,000 or <5%?

9% is my guess

I was the seventh voter at 9 a.m. at my precinct. One of the pollworkers there figures it’ll be about a 7% turnout.

I going to go low. Most of my neighbors don’t even know about the election. The poll workers seemed shocked to see me this morning (at 7:45, I was the second voter of the day).

I say 8,600.

Excellent idea phil. Might be closer to 26 and even more symbolic.

I think 26,000 people turning out would be symbolic of the 26th district….
