Majority of voters don’t care in Louisiana
So they threw a party, and nobody came. That’s what happened in Louisiana’s recent gubernatorial election. The turnout of voters going to the polls was a pathetic 35%. But remember that only 50% of Louisiana citizens are actually registered. What that means is that there was a turnout of only 18 % of voters who are actually qualified to vote. So 18% of voters took the time to go to the polls and pick those officials who will lead the state in the coming four years.
