Recovering from running a precinct in our primaries yesterday. Sore and stiff. 17 hour day, mostly on my feet.

But we had over 13% voter participation which is saying a lot for a state primary. I have had primaries with a 1% voter turnout.

We had almost 400 people show up. The fact that it was a dual primary probably helped.

Maybe, slowly, the voters are learning that primaries can be important.
