What? It's an election, not a prediction.
When I went in, the woman asked if I wanted the Trustee ballot, which I thought was strange. If I hadn't actually spent some time researching the candidates (thankfully, I only had 2) and actually decided who I wanted to vote for despite having no kids and not even any nieces or nephews in the Public School system, I probably would have said no. I actually took the time to make an informed choice this year, so I was definitely going to place my vote.
As of 4:00, 26% of eligible voters have cast their ballots, a significant increase over the same time period 3 years ago:
