City’s Black wards vote big in primary
"In the 12th Ward, which includes Homewood, Lincoln-Lemington, Larimer and East Liberty, voter turnout was nearly double the November 2007 total, up from 24.02 percent to 43.94 percent, an increase of 19.02 percent. Whether any of the county’s 3,000-plus newly registered voters accounted for any of the surge, or similar increases in other city wards, cannot yet be determined."
