Of course in Texas this time around, you had the governor's race, which is about as high profile as you can get, inside a state. Another thing which I believe is cause for increased turnout would be a unique or unusual circumstance. All we have to do is look at the 2008 Presidential election. You had this category on both sides. It seems that if you have local or county races, there will most likely be the lowest turnout here, as many just do not view these as all that important. Here again, is the profile issue. Sadly, there are some who probably are not even aware of who their local commissioners, judges , treasurers, etc. even are. The same goes for amendments. Unless it is something which really gets people's attention, such as the one in California of legalizing marijuiana, or voting in liquor in an area which has long been dry, it will usually be something that ends up getting moved to the back burner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
