Comments on: Among NJ Counties, Hudson Votes for Corzine by Largest Margin, but Has Lowest Turnout http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/2009/11/04/among-nj-counties-hudson-votes-for-corzine-by-largest-margin-but-has-lowest-turnout/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: JGO http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/2009/11/04/among-nj-counties-hudson-votes-for-corzine-by-largest-margin-but-has-lowest-turnout/comment-page-1/#comment-16918 JGO Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:02:00 +0000 http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/?p=6198#comment-16918 I'm ashamed to admit that I did not vote. I voted for Corzine in the last election but I think his complete silence/lack of action on the JC corruption front definitely tempered my desire to see him win another term(i.e. if Corzine had threatened to withhold state funding unless resignations took place and/or demanded that Mayor Healy vociferously call for Vega &Co.'s resignations from the City Council I would have walked through fire to get to the polling place on time).

It took all of 2 minutes to go in and vote. Not sure what the big deal is / why people can't make time to do it? Happen to know the results of Public Question #1 Historic Preservation Bond Act of 2009? Can't seem to find anything about it online. There was one person at my polling place!

What a shame re. the low turnout! Maybe this explains why I was in and out of my polling place in two minutes. Wow. What a shame re. the low turnout!
