Size Of Second Primary's Vote Is Key Question
William A. Shires reports that predicting the size of Saturday's second primary vote is the main issue. Fewer predictions are offered than a month ago, and forecasters are more cautious. State Treasurer Edwin Gill correctly guessed the May 30 Democratic governor primary turnout, but cautions that the second primary is harder to predict due to fewer candidates and more unknown factors like voter enthusiasm and turnout drives.

The essay connects Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe to Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who lived alone on San Fernandez Island from 1704 to 1709, not shipwrecked but left ashore by choice after a dispute. The piece also references voter turnout expectations for a May 30 election with observers predicting a slightly lower turnout.
