I just took a looksee at Tarrant county, seems they faired a little better with a whopping 3% turnout.

Wow! Do you happen to know what the percentage is for an average election? I wonder if it's partly that low because people are assuming Kerry has it sown up.

Not sure about that one either. Dean got 4% in Collin Co. and Edwards got a whopping 22% in Tarrant Co. I am thinking etiehr people don't realize these candidates have pulled out, or they are protest voting. Either way it does not give reason to low voter turnout. MY guess is that people honestly don't get the reason for having primary elections. Maybe they think it is abotu the Presidential race and that's it?
