How, in nearly two weeks of voting, can only 150 people have showed up to cast ballots in the race to fill the District 5 seat on the DeKalb Commission?

It’s not like things are exactly copacetic in what I once called DePraved County (much to the displeasure of the fine folks who run it).

There are even a couple candidates in the race who have actually demonstrated a heart for stuff like, you know, good government and following the rules.
