Some SOAPers are licking their wounds over the election results. The scapegoat is "low turn-out." For the record, here are the facts.
2005 Consolidated
KANE Registered voters: 47,426
Ballots cast: 7,352
Turn out: 15.50%
COOK Registered voters: 11,337
Ballots cast: 1,151
Turn out: 10.15%
2007 Consolidated
KANE Registered voters: 35,687
Ballots cast: 4,721
Turn out: 13.23%
COOK Registered voters: 11,357
Ballots cast: 857
Turn out: 7.55%
2009 Consolidates
KANE Registered voters: 38,973
Ballots cast: 6,303
Turn out: 16.17%
COOK Registered voters: 12,555
Ballots cast: 1,553
Turn out: 12.37%
You'll get no beef from me that we need more registered voters and more of those voters actually going to the polls, but to say this election has a low turn-out is simply not true.

Yes the turn-out wasa very sad. Thank God for AFLA and the citizens who turned out to continue the march for CHANGE. Yes -we can -change. We can EXPOSE crooked local officials and city workers. This crooks have made BIG $$$ money catering to ILLEGALS. That will probably surprise the phony- church crowd who use Christ to push for ILLEGALs. Like d' mayor and his followers'. Most ELGINITES are honest and decent folk,but we turned our back for to long.
