Carlina won the primary with a TOTAL of 4,229 votes. There are approx 109K registered democrats in the district, so voter turnout was abysmal. Allie Ryan took 2,747.

Voting makes a difference. And not voting also makes a difference. Nothing will change if people don't make the effort.

I agree. Also, why does everyone keep re-electing Carlina?
