Kennedy Predicts 800-850K Turnout
State Elections Board executive director Kevin Kennedy predicts a turnout of between 800,000 and 850,000 for tomorrow's spring election, with a heated Supreme Court race expected to drive voters to the polls statewide.
The figure would equal about 20 percent of the state's voting-age population, or about 25 percent of all registered voters, Kennedy said.
The last open Supreme Court seat, contested in 2003, drew 799,637 to the polls. Justice Patience Roggensack defeated Ed Brunner in that race.
