WFB Wins Voter Turnout Championship: 89.4%

The paper version of the NorthShoreNOW has a little table with the voter turnout for the North Shore suburbs, Bayside, Brown Deer, Fox Point, Glendale, Mequon, River Hills, Shorewood, Thiensville and Whitefish Bay.

Who had the best voter turnout?  Whitefish Bay with a whopping 89.4%.   Thiensville was 88.5%, followed by Fox Point at 87% .. the remainder of the suburbs were around 70-83%.

That's really a fantastic turnout.

Voter turnout for the rest of the US was around 61% .. Wisconsin's was 2nd in the nation at 71%.

Personally .. I'd like to hear from the 10.6% who didn't vote.  I'll bet half of those "non-voters" are really errors in the voter registration database.
