  2. Most parents don't vote so voters without children in MCPS will pick Board of Education.

    1. Really? All the MCPS parents I know regularly go to vote for BoE especially, even if they don't pick anything else on the ballot.

    2. That's nice, but your small sample of voters is not reflected in the numbers. There are currently 161,546 students. If we guess they each have 2 parents on average that would equate to 323,092 potential voters. From the election data we know one of the most active polling locations is Leisure World (no children).


      Now look at the numbers from yesterday's election and you tell me how you think parents are showing up at the polls and voting?

      If parents actually participated in these elections they would have their pick of candidates. But most voters that show up at the polls do not know about Board candidates and pick up the Apple Ballot and walk in and vote as they are told by the teachers' union.
