2008 Election Day 2 of 3

I voted today for the second of three times in 2008, with the first being the May 6 Primary and the third being the big one on Nov 4th. Apparently though I was one of a very small group who voted in the Democratic primary runoff for Labor Commissioner. I've read that overall turnout was less than 2% of registered voters and was told that at 6:30 I was only the 12th person in my precint to vote (polls closed around an hour later). I also heard it cost the state something like $3million to have this runoff election. There's got to be a better way, right? Even still, I was pleased to vote for Mary Font Donnan, having met her at a function and coming away very impressed.
