Details about the turnout

16,246 is a huge number. To put it in perspective, consider this:

61,828 people voted in the 2004 election for State Rep in District 46 for position #1. 56,000 people voted for position #2 in 2004. That's not just Democrats, that the total number of votes.

In 2006, Senator Ken Jacobsen got 41,948 votes in the 46th, out of a total of 49,787.

On February 9th, 32.63% of the total number of people who VOTED in the 2006 election came out to cast their vote in our caucuses for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the other candidates in the race. According to the Secretary of State's website, the 2006 midterm election had a statewide turnout of 43.71%. According to King County Elections, 47.46% of voters in Seattle cast a ballot in the 2007 County and City races. 32.63% may be lower than these numbers, and thanks to the number of registered voters being available from King County in 2006, 74,507, this was a 21.8% turnout. Considering that most people in Seattle use an Absentee Ballot that they can fill out at home, having that large a number show up at a caucus, get through the hassle of signing in, and spend an hour and a half or more talking about national and global politics with their neighbors, and stay long enough to fill the 1,211 delegates slots that we have here in the 46th, we did pretty darn good!

Our caucuses were held in 22 locations around the district. Here is a breakdown of how many people showed up at each of these locations, along with the number of precincts at each site, and the average precinct attendance.
