Voter Response Rate

Apparently, the County elections office had a "significant" number of ballots "returned to sender" due to outdated addresses.

That means that the actual response rate of those who DID receive ballots was technically well over the stated 41%.

Cool.

Especially for a single-item mail-in ballot.  Nice work!
