Record low turnout for presidential primary in Chicago
Record low turnout for presidential primary in Chicago
By David Kidwell
Chicago election officials predicted the lowest turnout in a presidential primary in city history.
It was 15 percent at 2 p.m. and the previous low was 32 percent in 1996, said Langdon Neal, chairman of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
“It’s going to be the lowest,” Neal said. “The real issue is” how low.
He said he was crossing his fingers that the turnout might reach 20 percent.
