I really enjoyed your election night blog. Lotsa' good stuff.

I have a suggestion. In addition to publishing votes cast by ward, how about posting percent turnout by ward. I bet this would be an eye-opener. The 20 percent overall turnout masks what must be some of the lowest ward turnouts in the history of the city.

Here are the ward-by-ward turnout percentages:

Ward (no of precincts)	Neighborhoods	Turnout
WARD 1 -24-	Mount Washington/California	23.00 percent
WARD 2 -24-	Madisonville/Oakley	21.36 percent
WARD 3 -11-	Evanston	24.21 percent
WARD 4 -17-	Hyde Park	24.36 percent
WARD 5 -19-	Mount Lookout	29.44 percent
WARD 6 -6-	Downtown	13.21 percent
WARD 7 -19-	Roselawn/Bond Hill	25.78 percent
WARD 8 -9-	Mount Auburn/Mount Adams	19.92 percent
WARD 9 -10-	Walnut Hills/East Walnut Hills	16.13 percent
WARD 10 -7-	Over-the-Rhine	13.38 percent
WARD 11 -9-	Mohawk/Clifton Heights	10.33 percent
WARD 12 -12-	Clifton Heights/ University Heights/ Fairview	9.01 percent
WARD 13 -16-	Avondale	21.32 percent
