(St. Paul, MN) — Roughly 18-percent of eligible voters turned out and voted in Tuesday’s primary election. Secretary of State Steve Simon says “that may sound like a low number, but primary turnout is much, much lower than general elections and 18 percent is pretty good.
Simon says voting went “almost flawlessly” from a technical standpoint, but one county auditor in Greater Minnesota reported a bat on the loose that frightened some voters.
