CHICAGO (CBS) — Turnout for Tuesday’s Illinois primary stood at a meager 15 percent as of mid afternoon.

Election officials said a lack of contested races was behind the lackluster activity at the polls. If that figure stands, it will be an all-time low for turnout.

“It’s going to be the lowest,” Langdon Neal, chairman of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, told the Tribune.
“The real issue is” how low.

Today’s sunny weather was not enough to drive people to their polling places this afternoon.

And in outstanding weather too.

. . . Turnout in the Chicago metro area, where most of the state’s voters live, was said to be light, despite clear skies and record-high temperatures in the mid-80s. . . .

Turnout has been pretty to very poor in many of these contests, which I suspect has to do with lack of enthusiasm for any of the candidates.

Romney won it as predicted, but it seems he has trouble even buying his way to a support base once again with losing nearly half the vote in a state more favourable to him with less conservative GOP members in certain areas like Chicago with, more tellingly, a turnout of people on his behalf.

. . . Compounding Santorum’s vulnerability in a state far less conservative than those he has carried, he was all but invisible in the Chicago media market, which reaches more than half the state’s electorate and is crucial to winning in the nation’s fifth most populous state. By one estimate, Romney outspent him by 21 to 1 there. . . .

Money can't buy this guy love, and it's no secret why IMO.

Voter turnout was very light in Alabama and Miss too--so what's your point?

Santorum got creamed tonight--which means there's no enthusiasm for him.
