Low primary turnout in Douglas County despite clear weather
In Douglas County 26.3 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the primary, with 9 721 ballots of 36 977. County Clerk Patty Jaimes cited uncertainty over party elections and noted canvassing and overseas absentee ballots would adjust totals. Turnout varied by precincts outside Lawrence, with Lecompton at 40.1 percent and city precincts showing wide gaps. Local candidates appeared recounting results as Kansas officials and political scientists weighed implications for November.
