    Question Voter Turnout in CT?

    Has anyone heard how voter turnout has been running? I read that they were expecting about 40% participation.

    That's actually gigantic for a primary. In Mississippi we get about 10-20%.

    One reason I think Primaries should be abolished. So few people turn up that the results can hardly be said to be fair.

    Well this is by far the most important primary in the nation. The primaries in most other states are jokes. It's almost unimaginable for an incumbent to actually be defeated in the generals, in the primaries it happens once every decade or so.
