What’s wrong with this sentence?: Voter turnout at spring elections for school boards and local government offices is too low, less than turnout at fall elections for state and national government offices, and that’s a problem the Legislature can fix.
The grammar is fine. What’s wrong with the sentence is that while grammatically good, it just doesn’t matter.
Legislators are looking hard at moving those spring elections where school board members, city councils, mayors and some other local officers are elected in fall elections in either the even-numbered years state and federal officials are elected or maybe the odd-numbered years when there are virtually no elections but voters could at least enjoy fall foliage when they drive to their voting places.
The issue that is being touted is that at those spring elections the voter turnout is low, half or less than the turnout at the August primary elections or November general elections.
