If the article by Thelma O'Brien [“Newfane voters decide to keep zoning bylaws,” The Commons, Dec. 22] is correct, well over 100 of the “[m]ore than a third of the town's 1,360 registered voters” that “drifted through the polling lines” must have done so without casting a vote!
It would take that many to make up for the 97 absentee voters not being there plus a few more to make more than a third of 1,360 (454).
More significant, I believe, is that the vast majority of the voters - two-thirds, in effect - voted “I don't care.”
