Voter turnout was very low Tuesday as Mitt Romney cruised to victory in the Republican Presidential Primary in New York and fourth other states.
Romney received about 57% of the vote in Monroe County easily outpacing Ron Paul who finished second with about 19%.
Unofficial results from the Monroe County Board of Elections show only about 7% of eligible voters cast their ballot Tuesday.
Contrast that with 26% turnout for the Republican Presidential Primary election in 2008, and 30% in 2000.
