Local voters continue trend of apathy With polls across the country closed and more than half of the states reported in, voter turnout appears to be better than anyone expected. Just not in Tippecanoe County. Doing their part to maintain the status quo, local voters did not come out in overwhelming numbers.
Voting is one of the best ways citizens can have their opinion heard in America.
By voting for candidates who share their beliefs they can help define the future of this country. Apparently being involved in the future of the United States is not a priority to area residents. Sheila Klinker, who was reelected as the State Representative in District 27, visited several of the precincts in Tippecanoe County on Tuesday and was impressed by the voter turnout. The numbers disagree. Even though it appears that voter turnout across the country was better than expected, many students didn't vote.
