Analysis: Back away from the election hype for a moment to consider that only 16 percent of those eligible cast ballots Tuesday in the City Council primary election. That’s right, after years of daily dust-ups breathlessly covered in print and broadcast media only 16 percent voted. With talk radio, online pundits and brainless conspiracy blogs following each hyperbolic whisper of discontent; still, only 16 percent voted. Again, with full public union engagement of ground troops and a chamber of commerce political action committee fighting to protect tax funded contracts – only 16 percent voted.
