voters

I will cast my vote later today, but if you’ve been to the polls, maybe you could add a comment below on your experience.  How did voter turnout seem to be?  I expect there’s not really any lines or anything, considering that the polls will be open for 12 hours to allow (at most) about 1200 people to vote, but if you have any stories to share, add them below!…
