THE TKC SATURDAY NIGHT PLAYLIST!!! SURVEY SEYZ: EXPECT TYPICALLY LOW KANSAS CITY VOTER TURNOUT!!!



Smart Kansas City voters aren't convinced that this active silly election season forum schedule will translate into increased voter turnout.

In fact . . .

OUR KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY CLAIMS THAT VOTER TURNOUT MIGHT ACTUALLY DECLINE GIVEN THE CURRENT CROP OF KANSAS CITY MAYORAL AND CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES!!!

This early preview of the election is exceptionally troubling given that the Mayor and City Council recently moved back election time to warmer months.

Sadly, it's the quality of mostly boring candidates and corporate collusion to rig Mayor Sly's reelection that seem to be driving voters away.

While recent voter forums are interesting and home to a great many entertaining local loudmouths, the consensus is that this hint at public participation won't push voter turnout past 20% or registered voters. In fact, we could see turnout hit rock bottom.

And so . . .

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS RECENT SURVEY OF OUR TKC BLOG COMMUNITY ON PROJECTED KANSAS CITY VOTER TURNOUT NUMBERS . . .

We asked the most active and AWESOME denizens of our blog community . . .

WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS OF KANSAS CITY VOTER TURNOUT FOR THE MAYORAL AND CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS??? HERE ARE THE ANSWERS: 

High Turnout Near Record Levels: 15%

Moderate Turnout - A Few Crowds During Rush Hours: 11%

Low Voter Turnout Just Like Most Elections: 46.7%****

Abysmal Voter Turnout - Single Digits: 27.3%

There is precedent for this sentiment and the sad reality of public participation or the lack thereof . . .

Remember the ruckus about registering voters after the #Ferguson uprising that amounted to nothing more than a handful of new participants to the Democratic process. Rioting and brazen rhetoric caused an international sensation but in the end only 128 new voters were registered by activists.

Tonight, we've correlated data from our blog community with other Kansas City voters and reached a rather tragic conclusion that provides an essential data point for the upcoming election . . .

MAYOR SLY AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE CAUSED WIDESPREAD KANSAS CITY VOTER DISENGAGEMENT THAT WILL DOMINATE ANOTHER LOW VOTER TURNOUT ELECTION!!!

The upside is that candidates who can engage infrequent voters or new communities to dust off their registration might find an advantage over this town's old and busted Democratic system.

And all of this has inspired tonight's playlist . . .



As always, thanks for reading this week and have a fun and safe Saturday night . . .

  1. Again, you are great about pointing out the problem but you're not providing any solution and that is what is really important.

    If voter turnout is a problem, then we need to think about ways to address that. Not just complain but work toward solutions.

    That is what you are missing in your post TKC.

  2. Here is a solution: have one day every four years on a Saturday, where everything is from president down to dog catcher is voted on. That way those who truly care don't have to constantly have their intelligence insulted by political parties

    I hate this blog, read it every day and all day.

    But I will say that voter turnout in KCMO has always sucked, so this is kind of a safe bet.

    Now, if it reaches single digits, that's when we need to start sounding the alarm.

    This is a free speech zone. If you don't like that, then you go somewhere else.

    I think you would be happier on Facebook.

  18. Low voter turn out is not a problem. It's a plan and works well. Keeping people stupid and misinformed has taken decades to refine. Why get off your ass to vote when the fix is in.

  19. Spamming might be easier than voting but we need people to actually get our of their comfort zone if we really want to change things. It doesn't take much time at all. VOTE people. It's your responsibility.
