TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! PATHETIC VOTER TURNOUT RANKED AS 3RD LOWEST INTEREST KANSAS CITY MAYORAL PRIMARY ELECTION IN HISTORY!!!



Just as our TKC Blog Community predicated, voters mostly stayed away from Kansas City election politics.

Even among the official numbers from the KCEB, the latest election resulted in around a 30 PERCENT DROP from the so-called "Blue Wave" vote. Remember that in Nov. 2018 a nationwide Democratic Party full court press resulted in 50% local turnout.

Last night's official turnout numbers . . .

Kansas City Election Board: 19.05%
Platte County: 16.04%
Clay County: 13.34%
16.1% Average

However . . .

FACTOR IN THE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS AND TURNOUT FOR THE KCMO VOTE WAS A MERE 6% AT BEST!!!

Putting all of the data together, pollsters reveal they haven't seen the public so disinterested in Mayoral politics since the Cleaver Vs. Cofran contest of 1995.

Even a walk on local streets revealed that very few people knew or cared about the vote despite nearly blanket local MSM coverage.

Moreover, the trend is clear . . . With no Mueller report and the public growing more distrustful of election hype . . . Voters are turning away from their local polling stations.

And so we offer more than a few election leftovers that deserve a peek for most of our neighbors who were more likely to spend last night playing video games than exercising their right to vote.

End Game

Justus, Lucas advance in Kansas City's mayoral race on June 18

FAIRWAY, KS (KCTV) -- From 11 candidates, to now just two -- Kansas City voted and now has its candidates for mayor. Councilwoman Jolie Justus, 48, and Councilman Quinton Lucas, 34, have secured the top spots to vie for the city's top office. Mayor Sly James was term-limited and will leave the city's top post in July.

  1. This isn't such horrible news. The fewer voters mean that the more people who bother to show up have even more power. Democracy works.

    1. Really sad to see the Northland Clay County opting out of this vote. That's going to hurt them in the long run. They need to be more involved.

  2. I predict Quinton Lucas will be elected Mayor in 77 days.
    Jolie is the samo-samo candidate--calling the disastrous current situation "momentum". Well, yeah if you want to label going over the cliff as "momentum". Endorsed by Sly James, her evil twin clown. What's next? She starts wearing a bow tie?? She only garnered 23%.

    Do the math. 77% voted "NOT Jolie." aka "Anyone BUT Jolie". Clearly and loudly calling for doing thing differently. All those voters are not likely to suddenly support Jolie. They will coalesce behind Quinton Lucas.

  7. So either Justus or Lucas gets to be mayor after the next election. Do you really think things in KC will change?

  8. Did you see Jloie's wife on TV last night? She didn't look happy. As opposed to Quinton's mom. who was proud and over-joyed.

    Mrs. Justus or whatever her name is, was acknowledged but not introduced. She appeared embarrassed to be out in public. And looked like that pained photo of Sharice Davids. The infamous "swear me in on an I-pad rather than a Bible, Nancy" photo.

    Sharice's brother was wearing a white popcorn knit sweater with the buttons on the woman's side. Perhaps borrowed from Sharice's Mom. Then Sharice with her left hand up ala swearing in, but her right palm was not on a Bible. Since she is not a Christian and does not believe in the Bible. So her hand was on an I-pad also being held by Nancy Pelosi. Then Sharice's always secret and unidentified partner.

  11. I'm a little surprised that voter participation even reached 6%. There's zero reason to vote when you're aware that the candidates have total disregard - if not utter disdain - for voters.

    KC will continue to go down the tubes no matter who wins. More crime . . and more posturing about fighting crime. More development . . . and more do-noting lectures about affordable housing. More millions to the jazz district, more billions to the airport and street car, more MLK signs . . . and fewer resources for basics such as pothole repair.

    The clowns in city government failed to learn the Pendergast rule . . . you acutally have to give the citizens something every once in a while.

  12. Oh great. A homosexual liberal is looking to become the next mayor of Kansas City. Another city council hack.


    This is the biggest most confusing choice for progressives. Which side does your shit identity politics vote for? A black man, or a lesbian? But...Jolie Justus isn’t a person of color, and so even though gay she still has white privilege!


    Elect quinton Lucas so we can throw more tax dollars down the toilet, and allow rampant violence in kcmo. If quinton is elected crime will just get worse in kc.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 8:19: I'm not in favor of Jolie, either, but what does your rant about Kansas Rep. Sharice David's swearing in have to do with the KC mayoral race?

    It sounds strangely familiar to one Tracy voiced when we were actually discussing Sharice last year.

    ReplyDelete
  14. jolie was just on Fox 4, telling Alford that her priority is education, and since the pre-K tax failed, her solution is to be a "thought leader".

    And I looked at the thought bubble above Alford's head and it was just "???"

    Next priority, behind education, is her solution to crime. which is to "bring her 8 years of Senate experience in Jeff City and apply it here."

    Like a poultice? Or maybe like those tanks the state sent to Ferguson to quell "Hands up, don't shoot" riots in Ferguson when Jolie was KC's rep in Jeff City??

    She's wearing her signature faux Barbara Bush pop bead pearls. And a black tent to cover her white, summergarden party frock.with 50's red and black flowers. Because her red tent is at the cleaners. (Where she's taking the taxpayers.)

    Yeah, because nothing puts the Chamber suits and the 1Million Cups entrepreneurs at ease more than waddling in all perky like Aunt Bea from 1950's Mayberry.

    Hey, 9:07--you forgot to mention, Jolie's final fantasy answer this am on Fox4. Her statement that the airport is not going to cost taxpayers anything, that the airlines are paying for it.

    Apparently she has been too busy campaigning on those two streets at the north and south borders that she keeps mentioning--to read the fine print about 'just paying for nine years'.

    Meanwhile, Chris Hernandez is polishing his resume...76 days before he's out on the pitted pot-holed streets looking for a new job.

    8:58, seems 8:19 is pointing to some clowns and puppets of politics. Pelosi pulls Sharice's strings, and James has Jolie jumping through his hoops.

  19. Ahh the sexy, sensuous and always mysteriously alluring Tracy has returned. Welcome back Tracy we missed your always intelligent and insightful comments.

    ReplyDelete
  20. ^^^^^YOu idiot did you notice she waited till after the election to say anything? Then she pops right back up like she is in the loop on things. Tracy, spare me with your fake "I know shit" that rolls out of your piehole and just keep to shoving stuff in it instead. Super Dave a long time ago passed you right up with sensible words and thoughts from the Johnson County side of things.

    ReplyDelete
  21. 12:29--how many campaigns have you run, dude?
    Tracy has worked on 50 of them.
    Including defeating BiStateII and BigSoccer, handily--
    she worked for free and was outspent 112 to 1.

    I don't see you protesting any of the chamber members who live in Johnson County, trying to buy this mayoral race, so they can keep funneling money to their businesses.

    SuperDave also makes some good comments.
    You? You're just a jealous coward anonymous nobody.
    Not even informed enough to comment on the actual topic--which IS the whole point of tkc's great blog.
    Do you have any analysis to contribute?

  22. Rational and logical minded white people must have not left the house to vote.

    Congrats to the ghetto and the gay community for not being quite that fucking lazy on voting day.

  23. Stupid dave has never in his pathetic life, EVAR made a good comment. There, fixed it for you.

  24. ^^^^^Yes he has, now shut up and go ask Jolie to make you a sandwich.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I hope Jolie proves me wrong. Don't expect it though.

    Parroting Sly after the airport debacle is just not confidence building

    ReplyDelete
  26. There was almost no one I could vote for in good conscience in the primary. There is no one I can vote for in the general. Justus will be Sly James 2.0 and Lucas will pander to his grievance group and ignore everyone else. No wonder election turnout is low.
