Written by Seema Mehta.

Former President Bill Clinton, stumping for Wendy Greuel in Los Angeles on Saturday, castigated the voter turnout in the mayoral primary as "ridiculous."

 

"We can't tolerate … the kind of low turnout you all have in these mayors' races," Clinton said of the 20.8% of registered voters who cast ballots in the March primary. "It's ridiculous. There are too many people in Los Angeles, of all ages, that have a big stake in the future."

The former president, who endorsed Greuel in March, lauded her resume as he spoke to scores of her supporters at Langer's Deli. He highlighted the time she served in his administration in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (Read more here.)
