Light turnout marked Tuesday primary across Adams County
Voters shunned polls in Reading Township and neighboring precincts as turnout lagged well below typical primaries. Reading Township reported 57 Democrat and 109 Republican ballots with about 850 registered voters, and countywide turnout hovered near 43 percent. In Gettysburg’s third precinct turnout was described as terrible with only 17 of 60 voters showing up by 7 p.m. York Springs exceeded expectations with about 50 percent turnout. Cumberland and York counties faced similarly weak participation despite a Three Mile Island reactor referendum, while Mt Pleasant and other precincts saw minimal drops in enthusiasm. Election officials noted lack of competitive races as a key factor.
