The election held on Saturday, June 14, 2008 was an atypical election.
First off the reason for holding the election was a tie vote. As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve not had a tie vote in the last 60 plus years. There have been close votes and there have been elections where the vote outcome has changed in a recount. There have been some elections which were almost contested and there have been elections where the totals reported on election night did not survive the process of canvassing the election. But never a tie vote.
Secondly the turnout for the election was unusual in the more people voted during early voting than voted on election day. All of our elections since absentee or early voting began have seen an ever increasing number of voters participate in early voting. In the 2006 General Election we had nearly, but not quite, half the voters come in before election day.
To me the third event is the most amazing. More people turned out for a second election...
