The Los Angeles Police Department estimated that the Women’ s March there drew 500,000 people. However, the organizers said the number was higher. When the March 7 mayoral election in Los Angeles came around, voter turnout was only 20%, which was just above the record low.
In Georgia, where hopes were high that a Democrat would win over the Republicans, the Democrat got 92,390 votes out of about 194,000 votes cast where there are 445,095 registered voters. That means that the progressive candidate got only 43% of the 43% of eligible voters who actually showed up. He fell shot and there is a runoff in June.
Hopefully this is only a sign of a slow start. Otherwise, we all showed up to see the funny pink hats and feel good for a day.
