Primary Colors
Well today is primary day. Republicans and Democrats go to the polls and pick their nominees for a host of local offices. Libertarians don’t have primaries. There are also referendums on the ballot in Franklin and Perry Townships as well as in Avon.
According to the Marion County Clerk’s office more than 4,300 people had taken advantage of early voting, more than 60 percent of them took a Democratic ballot. That’s also indicative of the more competitive races for Mayor and City-County Council seats on the Democratic side.
Here’s a breakdown early, either in person or mail. Not some voters may have submitted an application to vote by mail, traveling board or fax/email but have not yet returned a ballot. ….
