Interested on voter turnout in WA if it is heavy or light.
No secrets, just interested on how the turnout is for the primary.

most of WA is Mail-in ballot, so most people don't go to polls, but I don't know the turnout at the polls cuz I'm in university right now

aa
i just got back from voting. i was about the 12th person to vote today in 4 total precincts at my polling place. my girlfriend was 11th. but- 7 of the 12 are from my precinct! i joked about it with the poll-workers - telling the guy manning my precinct he was going to win "going away." when asked to declare parties i said "give me a Ron Paul ballot" as he checked the R box.
most of Wa does mail-in, but i'd say the walk-up turnout at the polls is going to be pretty pathetic. not sure if mail-in will also be weak. and not sure how this stacks up for us. that's my second RP vote (actually 6th if you count the precinct delegate votes). And i get to cast more in a few weeks. it feels good.

I mailed my ballot in two weeks ago.
Going to be hard to estimate turnout.

It will probably be like 60-70% because of mail-in balloting. Our last election, back in November, got a 70% turnout when there were 4 items on the whole ballot statewide, maybe more depending on your jurisdiction.
