That's the number of Morgantown residents who cast ballots in Tuesday's city election, out of nearly 14,000 registered voters, The Associated Press reports.
Turnout hit 1.55 percent even though the voting was for "mayor and seven council members to lead one of the fastest growing communities in West Virginia that is also home to West Virginia University," the AP notes.

WOW, that is very very sad...
Also hilarious! It's surprising that some enterprising group of seventy voters, say, didn't work under the radar to seize control of morgantown.
Holy smokes, that's sobering. I like anonymous's idea. Maybe I'll start rally troops in Charles Town....
So you could win office in Morgantown the same way that one of my friends won homecoming queen at WVU when I was there ... by just getting the Marching Band to vote for you?
