The voters in Kansas have lost their minds

7. very few of them vote in primaries

only about 5,000 of the 15,000 Republicans voted in my county and only about 2,000 of the 12,000 Democrats did.

Of course, some of the people that I call Republicans and Democrats are really registered independents who just vote that way in the fall.

The 2010 directory says we have 11,263 D; 14,242 R; and 11,035 U for a total of 36,760 but only 30, 587 voted in 2008.

That's a pretty astounding 83% turnout, but it would appear that in a county of 73,000 with perhaps 53,000 over the age of 18 that there are another 17,000 or so who are not registered, making total voter turnout a mere 58%.
