D.C. Voting Highest in 20 Years
posted 8:37 am Wed February 13, 2008 - Washington
About 38 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the city, according to initial results. Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton, winning about 75 percent of the vote.
Voters continued to line up at polls late in the day despite voting problems and icy weather. O'Field says the bad weather played a role in the results being released later than expected.

On the surface, this sounds good.
In reality, it is a dreadful disgrace. only 38% of eligible voters showed up....and this is the best turnout in 20 years?
Embarrassing and pathetic.
