Johnson County Election Day

Election Day

You know the routine: scattered turnout updates during the day, results after 9, analysis late. Factoid to watch: Iowa City turnout vs. rural.

Update 1: 9:00 turnout is 796 for 0.9 percent. Running a bit hotter in the rurals than in Iowa City (1.2% vs. 0.8%), but similar in actual number (333 rural vs. 384 IC). Down from 1263 (1.45%) in last year's sales tax.

Update 2: 11:00 is up to 1,671 (1.9%). Rural still outdoing Iowa City on percentage (2.4% to 1.7%) but not in raw vote (837 Iowa City, 673 rural.) Coralville lags behind (161, 1,45%). Pattern looks closest to, but behind, the 2007 SILO election (12,405 and 14%).

Update 3: 3,379 at 3:00 for 3.8%. Iowa City at 1,691 (3.5%); "non-IC/CV" (that includes North Liberty and UHeights) at 1,352 (4.8%). Still closest to but a bit behind the 2007 SILO.
