Wisconsin Voter Turnout By County

Using the raw election data that I show how to get in my last post, I wrote a script to process the results at a county level. By comparing the numbers to the 2009 Census population estimates (the 2010 actual census results aren't available yet), my script displays the percentage of voter turnout, the county name, and ranks them (highest turnout first).

These numbers are not exact for a couple reasons:
1) The 2009 Census numbers are an estimate
2) From the Census estimate, I use the number of residents in a county over the age of 18. For various reasons, not all of the residents over 18 may actually be eligible to vote.

I am assuming that the margin of error caused by these issues is consistent enough across the counties that the results generated by the script still give a good representation of the exact numbers.

Good Job West Bend, WI! Show The World Just How Ignorant You Are!

So, apparently the city of West Bend, Wisconsin is gearing up for a BOOK BURNING.

Why? Because "All the books in the young-adult zone that deal with homosexuality are gay-affirming."

Obviously no "young adults" should be able to see material like this! </sarcasm>

These people must have missed the memo that you can't "catch the gay" just by seeing a book on a shelf.

Being gay isn't a choice, and the "young adults" age is one of the toughest periods for someone who is gay to go through. Having books that they can read and relate to can make all the negative pressures from the world around them just a little bit easier to handle. What kind of jack-ass would even consider removing them? Much less burning them?! Oh, and "gay-affirming" books can be read (and enjoyed) by heterosexuals too!

Burning books?! If we're going to jump back into the dark ages, to times where ignorance ruled… I would like to suggest that the people proposing the book burning are WITCHES, and the only reason to justify burning the books is to light the fires for the witch burning.
