    Anyone go vote today?

    Because it doesn't look like it in Arlington. Jesus.


    Legalizing Alcoholic Beverage Sales as of 7:12pm

    For 4475 71.8%
    Against 1755 28.2%


    6k people turn out in a City with almost 400k people. At least I feel like my vote actually did something this time.

    I like how anything that has to do with the government spending money pretty much gets an emphatic "YES!" from the human livestock.

            The first Tuesday in November can be kind of a big deal.

                    That's about average...a little higher though in years where an actual city council member is running or something like that. But what do you expect? Most people are so damn complacent and uninformed then they wonder why Arlington gets such shitheels on their city council.

                        Maybe it's because an ID was required to vote this time?

                          I never understood why people don't show at polls for local issues, but something like a Presidential race, more come out to throw their vote into nothing that matters

                            I looked again this morning, and it was something like 15k total by the end of the night. That's still a remarkably small percentage of the population. 15k out of 400k
