@nickmanes1 See this map? http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2015/08/interactive_election_map.html … Note the different turnout in various precincts. Our two not even highest.

@nickmanes1 And turnout in those precincts actually not THAT HORRIBLE. (Which is why total voters higher than in 2011 Mayoral)

@emptywheel I’m actually most surprised about some of the turnout on the far North End of the city. Like Knapp/Fuller area.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@nickmanes1 Lots of potential explanations for that. Some not all that nice, some more so.

@emptywheel agree. But tbh it mostly just feels like a no-man’s-land for both (although I’m not sure if that’s 1st or 2nd ward?)2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@nickmanes1 Anyway, what feels like no-man's-land to you is actually higher-turnout-land then in your typical haunts.

@emptywheel I meant that it feels like more of a suburban area but those are still the folks that vote.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@nickmanes1 Some of those low-turnout precincts had great turnout for Obama's races (where they had to wait for hours and hours). But still.
