On Wednesday, Elkhart County’s top election official expressed disappointment with the low voter turnout in this week’s primary election.
The county’s top election official, Circuit Court County Clerk Chris Anderson, told The Elkhart Truth that while primary turnouts are usually low, this was a record low for the last 15 years.
Anderson said the turnout in November will be higher, but said having only 10,500 voters out of 125,600 show up was “really abysmal and discouraging.” That number represents less than 8.4% of registered voters.

Hey Chris Anderson, the education system has NO CLUE as to what the primary elections are for so how could they teach it in school EVEN IF THEY STILL TAUGHT GOVERNMENT CLASS? The average US politician is so wishy washy at best and corrupt at worst the public hates them. Add the two together and you get low voter turnout.
As for primary elections, since they are for the PARTIES to pick their particular candidate for the general election you should not expect a high turn out considering all of the above AND most people SAY THEY HATE POLITICAL PARTIES CAUSE IT IS THE THING TO DO. Start in public schools with education and in Church teaching honesty and integrity you might turn it around in a generation or 2.
Not to mention the fact that the election fraud of 2020 has left a lot of people feeling disenfranchised. If your vote can be stolen, what’s the point of taking the time to do it?
There is zero chance that Biden actually won that election legitimately… And we all know it.
