I did some maths( as the British would call it) this morning.
There are about 25,700 adults, 18+ in Jasper County, Texas.
4485 voted in last Tuesday's run-off election. That is 17% of the adults in the county.
Now, not all residents are eligible to vote, non-US Citizens( 1.6% of the county) felons, etc.
I did the maths, and that means about 19% of the county voted.
81% of the adults in Jasper County, who could have voted, did not.
Orange County was no better. Jefferson County was about the same.. ( I had to do actual math on Jefferson, the county is not just one Rep..)
Just something to think about this weekend....
