I’m getting these statistics from Fayette County Recorder Lisa Witt who cited TV3 for them, but I wanted to share them because I believe we can do better with voter turnout in this county. How can we get voters more engaged? I’d love to hear your thoughts about these numbers and about how we could possibly drive those numbers up going forward!
Oh, and check out that huge drop in mail-in absentee ballots! The pandemic of 2020 left its mark even in these numbers!
