Detroit gets new mayor on 15 percent voter turnout - WTOL.com, Toledo's News Leader, News 11 |:
Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey says she's not pleased that only about 15 percent of the city's registered voters participated in a special election to pick Detroit's next mayor.
Detroiters on Tuesday elected basketball legend Dave Bing as their mayor, sweeping incumbent Ken Cockrel Jr. from office. Winfrey had predicted before the election that about 15- to 20-percent of the city's registered voters would vote.
In all, 95,477 ballots were cast in an election that included the mayor's race and a proposal to revise the city charter. The proposal passed overwhelmingly.
