[Winona Online Democracy]
Public Policy is determined by those who show up. That includes the
elections, City Council, County and School Board meetings and active
participation in Planning Commissions, Focus Groups etc. Those who want to
enjoy the fruits of Democracy also need to make an investment of their time
and talent. With involvement policies, rules and laws can change but
those who side on the sidelines may not like the outcome. So get involved,
strive to make things better or sit back and pay the bills and complain,
complain, complain.

>In regards to heavy voter turnout, correct me if I'm wrong with this
statement:

>The Winona Daily News stated in an article today that the voter turnout was
>as high as 85% in some precincts.
>
>The article was only talking about people who had already preregistered.

>Doesn't that mean that the number does NOT reflect all the people who have
>not registered to vote?
>
>Am I accurate?

>If so, even though the number is nice, it does not represent the numbers of
>all potential voters.

>What do you think?
