Election Commission Chief Deputy Charlotte Mullis-Morgan had one thing to say about last week’s Hamilton County primary voter turnout.
“Isn’t it just awful?” she said.
Overall, 10.9 percent of Hamilton County’s 219,000 eligible voters determined 31 primary races.
“I don’t know how you get people to come out and vote. Lord knows we’ve tried everything,” Mullis-Morgan said.
