I hope other Sodrel districts are having better turnout than we have had so far.
From Toledo Blade.
“We had very few glitches, most where the paper was stuck or maybe someone had not inserted the memory card all the way,” said Jill Kelly, director of the Lucas County board of elections.
“We are very pleased we’ve had very little problems.”
Ms. Kelly also reported decent traffic at most polling locations, but no long lines. She does believe the morning rain deterred voters from the polls.
She said 11.6 percent of Lucas County’s registered voters had cast their ballot as of 11 a.m., which is more than twice the usual turnout for that time of the morning.
“It’s quite high...,” Ms. Kelly said. “Generally with rain people don’t turn out.”
Despite new regulations requiring voters to bring identification with them in order to vote, poll workers at 240 21 St. said that by late morning no voters had showed up without proper identification.
