The most important vote in Lake Worth's 100 year history

Today's Post reported on Florida's primary Voter Turnout:

2002:  29 percent
2004:  26 percent
2006:  20 percent
2008:  18 percent
2010:  22 percent
2012:  21 percent

So if you average all of that out,  you have a turnout of approximately 23 percent for a Primary election.  If you take all the registered voters in Lake Worth (15,258) not including military and overseas, that would mean an approximate 3,508 voter turn-out.  Of course, not all these voters will bother with the referendum.

And a little trivia on voter turnout in Lake Worth--only 2,311 voted on the heights referendum. With the city's propaganda on this general obligation bond referendum where they are desperate for the cash, more voters may show up and cast their ballot. They even have the city manager, who has now crossed the political line, out campaigning for this bond.

This is an important election for Lake Worth, the most important in its history. And that's why the city has put on a full court press.
