Editorial:

This special election is not hard to figure out.

First and foremost an overwhelming majority of the voters did not care enough to come out and vote. In the race for San Diego city council, approximately 17% of the registered voters voted. This is good when you compare it to the 80th Assembly race where only 12.5% voted, out of 177,216 registered voters. There were only 22,128 votes cast or to put it another way, 81% decided they were too busy to be bothered.
