This was a statewide primary election day, although it was the general election day in the city of Glendale. The voter turnout was extremely small, and non-partisans did not participate since they saw no excitement in the mostly uncontested races for Party nominations. The people who did come to the polls were Democrats and Republicans, and they are traditionalists. A "new idea" like Ranked Choice Voting was not persuasive to those voters who are already inured and satisfied with Two Parties.
