87.49% of registered voters give city thumbs up
Signaling an undeniable happiness with the direction of the city, Lakewood residents largely avoided participating in the September 8th primary. As a result, six highly qualified and deeply knowledgeable candidates will advance to the general election where it is almost certain electors will embrace more of the same kind of successful progressive leadership they’ve been gifted with over the past few years.
According to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Mary Louise Madigan’s Fighting Ward 4 was the happiest place in the city. 90.3% of registered voters showed appreciation by steering clear of their polling place. Indeed, the glee was greatest in Precinct 4-E, home of Cove, Beach, Fry, Hird, and North and South Lanes, where 94.82% of registered voters, or 823 people, unanimously said, “Eat your heart out Ward 1!”
The generally joyous denizens of Ward 1 and Ward 2 had stay-cation rates of 87.55% and 86.17% , respectively.
Don’t be surprised if the mayor dispatches a hug squad to Ward 3 — site of the least satisfied registered voters in the city. Just 85.72% of them felt it was necessary to waive their constitutional right to vote. Go figure, the mostly well-heeled tax payers of Precinct 3-A, including Wilbert, Lake, Homewood, Roy and Parkside, had the worst case of grumpy pants. Only 76.03% of them were comfortable enough to enjoy their relaxing lake views without any pesky interruptions.
