Did you vote in the 87th House District primary, or did you stay away? - Public Insight Network | St. Louis Beacon and the Nine Network of Public Media

Did you vote in the 87th House District primary, or did you stay away?

Sometimes, people don't bother do vote in elections because they don't think it will matter. But that's not the case in Missouri's 87th House District. After all the ballots were counted Tuesday night, Stacey Newman was ahead of Susan Carlson by one vote.

The Beacon is looking for people who did not vote in the primary and are willing to talk about it. If you live in the 87th, please respond to the questions below and share your insights.
