Unfortunately, the higher turnout was a huge majority of the residents by those numbers so are we to imply that the candidates elected and their actions now are approved by that same majority?

Right, everybody knows that a large voter turnout means the majority of voters approves of the actions of the local government. 
It's a percentage thing. Your argument only works if everyone voted the same way. 
That's elementary school logic

Talk about spin. Everyone talks about how many days until they clean house, ie: next election. The results could be the same as the last election. The meaning behind clean house is the voters will overwhelmingly vote to clean things up. According to Nose for News that happened already. Also pointed out that large voter turnout doesn't mean majority approves of the actions. OK, what does large voter turnout prove then? What cleaning house will take place? Again, using the same logic, that statement means nothing will probably change. Unfortunate, but true.

Well, let me put it this way. If these county clowns aren't swept out, I'm givng up. Yes, that's right...I'll quit posting.
If the people don't care enough, I don't either. It'd just be a waste of my time and I'll move on.

Actually it means, "To eliminate or discard what is undesirable" you know like Behrends, Springborg and Mullenbach.

It proves that a lot of people turned out to vote and that's all it proves.
If the candidates were elected by a large majority of the votes then you could make an argument that the majority approves of the actions. Even that would be a weak argument because sometimes you find out the person elected was a lying bastard that switches sides after he's elected.

I agree with that. Everyone keeps talking about cleaning house at the next election. It could be a clean house with new people, but they will probably do the same thing. It is a vicious circle. Sad part is the majority spoke at the last election. They will also speak at the next one. This argument can go on forever.
