Madison Wisconsin Delivers Record Turnout in Fall Primary Election

[RandySF]

Madison, Wisconsin — The best news out of Wisconsin last night comes from Madison.

A record (unofficial) turnout of 42.76 percent in this vibrant oasis took to the polls as the City continued its mission to serve eligible voters who wish to cast ballots.

This performance in democracy is not an accident.

The Madison City Clerk's motto — we exist to assist — is a mission every voting rights worker, every poll worker, every assisting staffer at Madison libraries, appears to take very seriously.

1. We're all psyched!

I voted at 6 PM on the Isthmus, and there was a line of about 8 people in front of me waiting to check in. I was over voter #1000 by that point, and in past mid terms, I think it's been closer to 500-700 when I voted in the evening.
