I voted.

The man working the machine told me turnout had been steady, higher than he expected.

Last month I set the over/under at 20%, based on the fact that turnout for the general election last time around roughly tripled the primary count. Anything over 21.6% counts as progress...

I voted as well. I was the only one there, but the guy said there had been more people than during the primaries. My son did the Kid's Voting, which was neat. They gave him a candy bar and a sticker for doing it. Nobody gave me a candy bar or sticker! :-o

Yesterday I was talking to a person who asked me 'if there was an election or something happening'. When I said that there was, she asked me what it was for. Sigh.

I voted. I took my time and was the ONLY one there the entire time. The only non-poll worker on the entire premises was a Carmany campaigner.

I'll take the under -- just barely.

I'll take the under, too. Let's say 17%.

New to Greensboro but the thing I noted is that only 30,000 people voted in the mayoral race. City council districts were selected by 5000-6000 people. The takeaway is that nobody really cares enough about these folks to cast a ballot.

Frankly, I found it hard to get adequate information about the candidates from the N&R to come to any conclusions. Everybody was against gang violence and for revitalizing the downtown. What kind of insights are those?

Very glad to have been wrong on that one.
