The Austin Voting Gap: Tarrytown
Traditionally a small percentage of the population has determined the course of Austin government. KUT visits Tarrytown, one of the highest turnout areas in the city.
In the Austin election of 2008 only 8.5 percent of registered voters went to the polls. In the West Side neighborhood of Tarrytown, that number was closer to fifty percent. KUT’s Mose Buchele visited the neighborhood to find out why, and what those numbers saya bout the city as a whole.
The Austin Voting Gap was reported by KUT’s Mose Buchele in conjunction with Suzannah Gonzales of the Austin American Statesman.
