St Louis mayoral election: Low turnout

I was the only person voting at my precinct when I arrived around 10am today. Not prime voting time to be sure, but I doubt turnout will be much higher than the primary (15%) or conclude with a much different result (Mayor Slay won the Democratic primary 61-32, the most heavily contested in St Louis.) Turnout would have been worse if the wintry weather we saw yesterday reprised itself today, but the worst appears to have passed us by. I'll predict a 58-39 win for Slay this time around.

At this point, no major problems have been reported, which is great; the City ran a tight ship in the 2008 election, and it appears Scott Leinedecker and the rest of the BOE have done it again in this election. Lord knows St Louis elections don't always run so smoothly.

Update: It's official. Congrats, Mayor Slay. Final score: Slay 60%, Coleman 34%. No Republicans ran for the office.
