With less than 40 percent turn out, less than public candidates and one contested race between two cities of a total of more than 50,000 souls, it just about feels that way, doesn’t it?

The Onion:

OLYMPIA, WA—A primary election of some sort is believed to have occurred in the past week or two in cities and counties across the nation, according to a report published by a citizens advocacy group.

Although the report stopped short of affirming the claim, the Fair Election Advocacy Council believes that local political offices as diverse as mayor, city councilman, district attorney, and perhaps a judgeship or two may have been contested.

“Am I crazy, or was there an election or something not too long ago?” said Olympia, WA resident Rochelle Fleischman, who recalled receiving a multilingual “yellow thing” in the mail several weeks ago that may have been an election-related notice. She promptly discarded it with other junk mail.
