First Primary Vote Estimate From Little Rock
Joe Ganey, senior candidate in Little Rock, says not more than 250,000 votes will be cast in the first Democratic primary next month. He notes the total could exceed previous contests only with statewide hot races and Governor’s contests unlikely to boost turnout. Ganey predicts turnout for the second primary depends on interest in the first callout and cites uncertainty among supporters. He supports a constitutional amendment to remove the ad valorem tax, leaving decisions to counties and state government. He will leave for remarks tomorrow.
