Election Day Reports

I started this thread so posters here can mention their on the ground observations for today.

We have a lot of school elections (Brighton), tax measures (some areas), and a recall election (Hamburg) here in Livingston County.

VERY LOW turnout in Green Oak. I was number 34 at about 1PM. There were about 250 if you count all the absentees. That's still not much.

I took a drive around. Hamburg turnout seemed low (although higher than Green Oak) in all but one station where there was a lot of cars. Genoa Twp has low turnout (similar to Green Oak) as well.

Not a real good sign. Higher turnout is better for conservatives in Livingston County.

3 P.M. (none / 0) (#1)

At my precinct I was told it's been "steady." About 10 cars as I parked. Several people were leaving, several coming in. As I left, one was heading inside.

I think I have figured out what to tell people who say they don't know who to vote for: Just say no, vote opposite of who the newspaper and the unions endorse. It's so easy ;)

Seriously, I think it's early yet and we'll be surprised with the turnout later...keeping the faith.

I think I was told it's about 10% (none / 0) (#3)

of the eligible voters. I think I heard something about 'normal'.

I'll be honest with you, I think it's shameful.

Thank God! And write the school board!!! (none / 0) (#5)

City Commission: Mr. G received most of the votes!!! Congratulations!

I am very proud of the city residence today. Well, proud of the ones that made it out to vote and with the way they voted: Big kudos to those 1988 people.

Out of those, 68 people didn't vote for Bzdok, they wrote in. I wonder who they wrote in...

Yea! No raising property taxes anywhere! Can you believe they'd even ask?

Cheryl Walton created seven signs that opposed a Nov. 3 ballot initiative to raise property taxes for 10 yrs. Can you believe: According to the R.E., "..zoning administrator Leslie Meyers acknowledged she pulled up and hauled away three of the signs because they obstructed the right-of-way along M-72. Meyers was unavailable for comment." Yep that's her job BUT this one was REALLY obvious! Cheryl Walton believes she placed her signs a safe distance from the right-of-way and, "They might have obstructed some weeds, but not drivers,"

I've noticed for some time: The people in the planning and zoning depts tend to see that they have POWER. This seems to go to their head and they seem to be in that position year after year. Hmmm.

School board: Well, we could have done worse. Still, as they grapple with how/where to make cuts, Brooks was quoted in the paper as being AGAINST privatization. What an ignorant azz thing to say. Maybe that's why she only received 19.93% of the vote! Do you think this will clue the board in on where/how to save money? Megan Crandall has been reaching out to the public for feedback on this matter: I hope people will bombard her with emails pointing out where privatization in many areas would save everyone money, pointing out that (as with Chrysler years ago) people (UNIONS) should quit worrying about maintaining higher wages and be grateful to have a job, taking steps to keep them, which means tightening THEIR belt. John Q public doesn't even have a belt to be tightened anymore!

Well, from now on we stand and fight for right! by maidintheus, 11/04/2009 12:08:45 PM EST (none / 0)

The 19th has a Senator (none / 0) (#7)

Great night for the 19th Senate district. After ten months of no representation in the Michigan Senate thanks to Granholms dithering we finally have a Senator. With some of the people that have filled that seat Mike Nofs is actualy the first Senator we have had in about six years.
Turnout was about average in our township in southern Calhoun county. Watching returns and vote counts from acrossed the county I would say turnout was average. Maybe a bit less then last November.
Congratulations to Senator elect Mike Nofs. Great job from the entire team.
