Ty's Take

Tuesday's primary is going to draw the usual crowd—people who show up every time, and a lot of folks who'll realize at their kitchen table that they forgot it was happening. That's the way it goes in a county where half your voter energy gets spent on water board races and state game commission seats. But this one matters a little different. We've got Holloman's future hanging in the balance on some of these races, and the Basin's water fights aren't getting any quieter. If you're the type who figures primary elections are for people with nothing better to do, you might want to reconsider—because the people you don't vote for on Tuesday have a way of making decisions for you later.
