The final turnout numbers are in for early voting, and they are putrid.
This is what happens when you have these elections in off years, a huge advantage for incumbents or the monied candidates. They don't have enough already?
OVERALL: 22,257 early/7,006 mail/3.3 percent
HENDERSON MAYOR: 9,110 early/2,437 mail/8 percent
NORTH LAS VEGAS MAYOR: 4,779 early/948 mail/7.5 percent
STEVE ROSS' COUNCIL SEAT: 2,570 early/626 mail/6.5 percent
ANITA WOOD'S COUNCIL SEAT: 1,397 early/293 mail/7 percent
Want some context for recent municipal primaries?
2011: 8 percent early voted, 2 percent by mail and overall turnout was 18 percent after Election Day
2009: 5 percent early voted, 2 percent by mail and overall turnout was 10 percent after Election Day
Also, don't forget any of these will be over if oen candidate gets 50 percent plus one vote. So someone could win in the primary with a small fraction of the registered voters.
I rest my case.
