I just did a quick calculation of turnout in the city of Coeur d'Alene based on how many voted in the “high water” race for mayor. It came out at 29.7% which rounds up to the 30% projected number.

Wow.
We're at 45 percent and projected to get between 50-55% with our all-mail balloting here.
Overall in Washington I think the Secretary of State is projecting more than 50 percent turnout for our all-mail voting in this off-year election season.

@Sam: Yep. Smart peeps live in Washington. Lazy peeps in Idaho.
(Don't you dare tell me that's not what you were inferring, 'cause you darn, well know that's what you meant by your snarky, Wow! you young, elitist journo-type person, you!)
