May 30, 2012 Up to 65 percent of Wisconsin's registered voters will cast a ballot in the recall election next Tuesday.
That prediction comes from the state's Government Accountability Board.
Spokesman Reid Magney says they generated that figure by considering public interest in the election, and how many people voted in past, similar elections. He says it wasn't easy to come up with the prediction, because it will be Wisconsin's first statewide recall election.
The 65 percent prediction falls between the 50 percent of registered voters who came to the polls for the last election for governor, and the 69 percent turnout for the 2008 presidential election. |
