Voting Report from Miss. Gulf Coast: High Turnout |
|
I voted this morning in my precinct and turnout was HIGH. The official who was herding the line said that the turnout for the morning was TRIPLE what they usually had. I got there at 10 till 6 aand was at the beginning of the fourth row of bleachers waiting to vote. Voted about 7:20, so about a 20 minute wait in line... Apparently our precinct has about 1300 people, and at least 300 of that were probably in line to vote this morning. No way to tell who they voted for, of course, but the turnout was very good.

1. That is great..Same thing here in Alaska |

In fact they are saying they expect the largest turnout since statehood 1958. People are motivated and that usually does not go well for an incumbent.

I just got in to work from voting in Maryland. Polls opened at 7 am and I got there about 7:50. I had to wait over an hour just to check in. All the poll workers and judges kept saying that they had never seen it as crowded as it was.
