- Wendy DiAlesandro

Countywide turnout in the May 19 primary election tallied at 25.24% of registered voters, a bit lower than usual for a presidential primary election, county Board of Elections Director Faith Lyon said.

All told, 27,324 ballots were cast, 8,491 being Democrat, 17,969 being Republican and 864 being nonpartisan (issues-only ballots). An additional nine people turned in totally blank ballots.
