More data than the results have come in about the Ohio Republican Primary: despite better than average, and colorful, campaign activity, Ohio republicans, and those in most other states, didn’t turn out to vote, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

In large part, despite an arena-like feel to the campaign, most states are reporting lower-than-average voter turnout in this primary season.  This is surprising and unwelcome news. The primary is one thing – if the trend remains in November we’ll be looking at more of the same from the current administration.

Republicans, in Ohio and elsewhere, need to get to the polls. Our participatory democracy depends on you!
