Primary may draw low turnout

Primary may draw low turnout - The Boston Globe: "Secretary of State William F. Galvin yesterday said turnout for the Sept. 19 Democratic primary could be low, a situation that could help the candidate with the most passionate supporters.

Yesterday, Galvin predicted that if the election were held today, about 620,000 voters, or less than 20 percent of the total qualified to vote in the Democratic primary, would show up at the polls. "

What a sad state of our democracy that so few will take part in one of the most essential acts.
