Editorial: Don’t take your vote for granted
Fifteen percent.
That’s the number of registered Democratic voters in Brooklyn who bothered to show up and cast their ballots in the September primary in an overwhelmingly Democratic borough. Approximately 166,381 votes were cast in that primary out of 1,102,087 registered Democratic voters in Brooklyn.
What word could possibly describe a 15 percent turnout in an election? Anemic comes to mind; disgraceful is another good one.
