2007 Photos: Election Day by Amy Davis
What if a city had an election and no one voted? That is what appears to have happened on Sept. 11, 2007, as the city of Baltimore held a primary election and turnout was low. Very low. More people came to Mayor Sheila Dixon's inaugural then came to most of the polls.
Sun photographer Amy Davis made a really telling photo. Her caption reads: "Election judges James Moore and Regina Branche had a lot of down time due to the low voter turnout at Ward 12, Precinct 7, at the Barclay Elementary School. By noon, only 90 voters had come in to vote in the city primary election, though according to officials, this polling place has 1,224 registered voters."
Really nice, and I particularly like the way the floor tiles mimic the well-placed and lonely voting booths.
