Yesterday’s Presidential Primary Election held across Missouri was tagged a meaningless "beauty contest" by many since no delegates were to be attached for any particular candidate based on the vote. Voter turnout, at least in Daviess County, confirms scant interest.
Less than 10% of the 5,209 registered voters eligible to cast votes in the county’s seven voting precincts actually did so. The following summarizes yesterday’s primary in Daviess County:
