Didn’t I read 140% of registered voters cast a ballot in this county?
When you read that huge total think total pages counted and a two page ballot. (We had 10 Constitutional amendments and about a total 6 foot ballot this time.) Voters are 1/2 the total. 70% of eligible voters is in line with national results.
That came from a mis-read of an admittedly confusing report. The Florida ballot was two two-sided pages due to so many Constitutional amendments up for consideration. 70% turnout times two sheets each resulted in the 140% figure. Of all the things going wrong in St Lucie County, that's not one of them.
That was misleading. The voters were issued a two-page ballot and the county reported the number of pages voted (which was slightly less than 2 pgs/voter, as a few voters only voted one page and overlooked the other).
Actual voter turnout was more like 70% -- which is still suspiciously high for the county.
check these precincts out and how many voted.
