If I’d known this earlier I would have voted more often, just like in Chicago.

I’m glad to hear that some Decatur voters have something other than approving every tax referendum that comes along as their highest priority

Was it because it was on the second page?? It did have it’s own page, didn’t it?

Alcohol is pretty easy to understand. E-SPLOST and School Board, not so much.

315 out of 2425 that turned out in the District 1 precincts did not vote in the Dist 1 school board race. So about 13% in District 1 voted in the Sunday Sales, but not the school board race.

What about the contested school board election? What percent abstained?

Well, at least those 817 were sober long enough to come out and vote. Democracy – it ain’t pretty but it gets the job done (some of the time).
