They're projecting that Tuesday's mayoral election in Los Angeles will draw arecord low turnout, and that's been the case for most local elections around here for years. Why is it that people just don't care who gets elected mayor? They don't turn out for the primaries, they don't turn out for the runoff elections, they don't turn out for anything. On one level, I can understand it: the candidates are really terrible. Both are part of the establishment that caused all the problems they claim they can fix in the first place. But I don't think that's why people don't turn out. I think that the voters just don't care. (Los Angeles Times)
