Just 4 In 10 Ferguson Voters Cast Ballots

By Eliott C. McLaughlin, Nov. 6, 2014, Cnn.com 

 (CNN) -- Charles Davis didn't sense a great deal of excitement leading up to Ferguson, Missouri, elections on Tuesday.

His Ferguson Burger Bar & More is situated along the primary protest route in the city. People have streamed in and out of the eatery since it opened just before Michael Brown was shot in August.

Along with handmade burgers and milkshakes, his patrons have been able to pick up voter registration forms from the counter where they place their orders. While Davis saw voters wearing stickers and some customers mentioned the elections, it wasn't a regular point of discussion in the days before the polls opened.

"A lot of people didn't talk about it," he said. "It was a dead conversation."

Davis, who is registered to vote in Illinois but whose wife voted in Ferguson on Tuesday, concedes that general and midterm elections don't excite him. But in April 2015, when city elections are held? When three of the six City Council seats will be up for grabs? Now, that's a different story.
