Whether you're happy or sad with the results of the midterm elections, you have to be both (1) relieved that you're not getting any more political mailings and (2) impressed with the voter turnout. Usually midterms are a pretty slow affair, but turnout was well over 60% in all the local municipalities that I checked.
Newlin had 74%, Pocopson 70%, Londonderry 68%, Highland 68%, and my own township, West Marlborough, had 69%. Kennett Square's three precincts had turnouts in the low 60s. Kennett Township's four precincts were in the high 60s, with an amazing 79% in the third precinct (not coincidentally, home to the Kendal retirement community). East Marlborough's three precincts had 65%, 67%, and 73%.
Note to candidates: it's time to take down your signs.
