Touch the Elbow - Blogging the Civil War

In South Carolina 57% of the population is registered to vote. If you apply that to the population of my county that would mean an estimated 86,454 citizens could vote.

12,025 actually voted for County supervisor - the MOST powerful position in the county - 13.9% of the voting population or 7.9% percent of the total population. Yes this is for a primary but still that could mean the estimated voting population could be cut in half - if the Democratic party had not suggested that members vote in the Republican primaries as you do not have to register a specific party in SC.

Pathetic.

Shameful.

Embarrassing.
