Gov. Pillen blames Republicans for Omaha mayor's defeat

[Grins]

4. "Didn't get the vote out...?"

Another story quoted Douglas County Election commissioner estimating a 30% turnout.
But I have not seen the actual turnout %.

There was one other factor: In 3 districts the incumbents were unopposed. So a bunch of voters did not show up; “Why bother?”

Which leads me to one of my peeves: “Voter fatigue.”
There are just too many elections; certainly in my state of Virginia, and, apparently Nebraska, so voters are tired of going to the polls.

Note: The D candidate won by a WHOPPING 12.6 percent!!!
With a win like that, I think turnout was not the only problem.
