At Bethlehem primaries, local residents demonstrate their duty to vote
On April 24, primary elections in Bethlehem, Pa., took place. Several voters from the First and Second wards felt it was their duty as citizens to participate in the primary elections. However, the turnout for the elections at Broughal Middle School in Bethlehem was fairly low. At 2 p.m., only 49 voters of the 2,681 who registered came out to participate in the primary elections.
"A lot of people think the top of the ticket has already pretty much been decided, plus there wasn't a referendum to vote on today, so the turnout was a little low," said Rick Messenlehner, judge of elections in Northampton County.
