Exceptionally disappointed in San Francisco voters

Exceptionally disappointed in San Francisco voters, though.

With Obama, Prop 8 (and eleven other state propositions), twenty-two city measures and assorted supervisor/congresscritter/&c. decisions, the Registrar says

of the 477,651 registered voters,
237,843 ballots were cast.

49.79%.

That's pathetic, and doesn't even take into account those folks who couldn't be bothered even to register, let alone vote.
