Posted on 16 Sep 2009 by Justin Ruckman
voter turnout; dark red = 0–10%, bright red = 10–20%, white = not participating
Of 466,351 registered voters, 20,202 ballots were cast, equalling a 4.33% voter turnout. All precincts are completely reported.
John Lassiter, as expected, won the primary for Republican Mayoral candidate with a 79.54% margin. Martin Davis (Dirty Book guy), however, pulled an impressive 18.97%, or in more concrete terms, 2,031 votes (out of 10,706 total). Jack Stratton received only 1.49%.
Complete mayoral and city council results can be found at the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections website.
Honestly, I didn’t even know the primary was yesterday. I didn’t know until I heard about it on WFAE on my way home from work.
