A fun fact from today's Board of Supervisors meeting: Half of Merced County's registered voters turned out for February's primary.
That's according to Stephen Jones, the county's registrar of voters. He gave a short presentation at today's board meeting, after which the board voted to formally certify February's election results.
Local election officials had predicted a 45 percent turnout. Jones said actual turnout was 49.9 percent.
