INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Election day is just two weeks away and its looking like the voter turnout could reach a record low.

Low voter turnout translates into unpredictability and candidates dont like that.

State Representative Christina Hale says she believes her biggest opponent is apathy.

Hale is a Democrat who represents a Republican leaning district on the northeast side. She says she goes door to door on a daily basis and doesnt like what she hears from voters.

I am afraid people arent going to turn out to vote when the day comes, she said.

After a low turnout in the May primary, she worries about both a lack of interest and the weather.

You know, we had a beautiful sunny day on Election day in the Spring and, you know, our fall hasnt been going so well, she said. If we have a rainy, lousy day, I think people might choose to stay at home.

Mike Friedman is a first time Republican candidate seeking to unseat Hale. All politics is local, he said, so I think its going to come down to the issues in my district and whether they feel like I can do a better job.

But while Hale is also talking about the issues she is less worried about the challenge posed by Friedman than she is about voter apathy.
