"But while about 24 percent of total registered Dearborn voters and about 20 percent in the state cast ballots, turnout was much lower among Arab Americans. In precincts one and two, or the McDonald Elementary School area, a district made up almost entirely of Arab Americans, less than nine percent of registered voters showed up at the polls, compared to up to 30 percent in some West Dearborn precincts, according to unofficial results from the city clerk's office."
