Dallas and Fort Worth had the worst voter turnouts among 50 U.S. cities compared by their most recent mayoral elections in the study "Who Votes For Mayor?" from Portland State University. Dallas had the lowest turnout of any city surveyed — 6.14 percent of eligible voters showed up in its last mayoral election. Fort Worth came in second with 6.48 percent. For comparison, in Portland, nearly 60 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot in their last local election.

Older citizens were the ones to show up at the polls. In Dallas, the median voter age was 62; in Fort Worth, 66, according to the study. In Dallas, turnout among those age 65 and up was 17.7 percent compared to 1.7 percent among voters ages 18-34. The median age of the adult population in Dallas is 40.8. In Fort Worth, over a quarter of the voters were 65 and older, and just 1.1 percent were younger than 35. The average age of a Fort Worthian eligible to vote is 41.4.

George H.W. Bush is on the mend after a bout with pneumonia. The 92-year-old former president Monday was moved from intensive care at Houston Methodist Hospital, where he’s been undergoing treatment since Jan. 14. His wife, Barbara Bush, 91, has been released from the same hospital after a battle with bronchitis. She was admitted Wednesday after experiencing fatigue and coughing. She could have left the hospital Sunday, but she opted to stay one more night to be with her husband. The Bushes have been married for more than seven decades — the longest marriage of any presidential couple in American history. [KERA News]
