UnderpantsWeevil, 1 month ago A county commissioner was defeated in a low-turnout out-of-cycle election by 20-pts. Chris Kleinjans 2502 votes (60%) Lucy Ebel (incumbent) 1665 votes (40%) By contrast, in 2020, Ottawa County voted Biden 64,705 38.4% Trump 100,913 59.8% So, a huge reversal. But in an election in which only 2% of Republican Presidential regulars turned out relative to 3.8% of Democrats. I absolutely would not use this as a bell weather for the 2024 election.
