Still, June's Primaries Might Fare Well

Tomorrow, all counties are to have their voter-turnout tallies turned in, from last month's primaries. The voter turnout might not be released then, though, as the figures will be reviewed before being released.

Or, will they release what they have as preliminary and then review the figures?

At any rate, when the figure is released, it is expected to be higher than originally expected. Some were suggesting the state's turnout would be but 13 percent. Instead, it now appears it will be about 20 percent. That may sound low, but would actually be about as good as Utah has fared in any primary since 1992.

If so, add the primaries to the success of the caucuses -- I understand participation was high this year -- and the suggestion of a voter revolt endures.
