Voter turnout Warped
37%, lowest
since 1942
by Scott McCullo
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
voter turnout for this year’s midterm
elections was the lowest in 44 years,
partly because of uncontested races
in some populous states and a public
backlash against campaign
mudslinging, experts said Wednes
day.
Curtis Cans, head of the indepen
dent Committee for the Study of the
American Electorate, said prelimi
nary figures indicated that only 37.3
percent of the voting-age population
— people 18 or older — cast ballots
in Tuesday’s elections.
That was less than the 37.7 per
cent who voted in 1978, and unpa
ralleled since 1942, when slightly
more than 30 percent of voting-age
Americans cast ballots during the
early period of World War II.
“There were two major reasons
for the decline,” Cans said in a tele
phone interview. “There would have
been a decline in any case because
there were non-competitive races in
some of the major population states
of the East,” he said.
He said people were voting “no”
on this campaign.
“I think it was a reaction to the
nasty campaigning, to not being in
vited in to participate, to almost hav
ing an election and nobody knowing
about it,” he said.
Cans had predicted the decline a
week ago, despite a 1.8 percent in
crease in voter registration in the 29
states from which data was available.

Texas may well be in its strongest
position since the days of Johnson
and Rayburn,” said Rep. Jake Pickle,
D-Austin.
“With Wright as Speaker and
Bentsen as Finance chairman, and
me as senior member on Ways and
Means, there may be some feeling
that Texas may flex its muscles and
try to get more of its share of gov
ernment projects,” Pickle said.
“I don’t think that’s the case,” he
said. “We should get our just por
tion. But Texans are not going to be
flexing their muscles and being
greedy because we’re just as con
cerned about the deficit as any other
state.”
Pickle said the state’s newly won
power will insure Texas representa
tives will be included on government
policy decisions from the beginning
“instead of having to fight for our
position.”
