    Maybe they got tired of complaining and know if they don’t vote they can’t complain.
    Maybe that’s a good thing. Just think how refreshing that will be.

    I have my own thoughts of low turnout. If we look back from August on. Media and press made it look like an easy win for Hillary. With this thought in mind I bet allot of dems didnt feel like they needed to vote where the GOPs thought they surely had to vote.

    Please consider adding this additional info to the story. http://www.escambiavotes.com/voter-statistics

    Under Basic Voter Statistics under Voter statistics by Precinct breaks down voter. I downloaded the PDF file info for Precinct 22 and found it educational.

    Also the percentage from the primary turn out was much lower than 50% of the general election.

    If one thought the votes from the primary or past elections predicted the outcome of this one, well it didn’t.
    Of course, I am not sure of the low voter turnout reasons either.

    Wonder what it would take to get people interested enough to vote.
