Of course the numbers posted above are not attributed at all. If you actually have information on turnout let us know. I'm hearing that up to 5 p.m. the turnout had been pretty good.

I just voted at Ward 1, Precinct 12 -- which is the Orient Heights Branch Library -- and had a pleasant chat with Mary Berninger, who said that, win or lose, she has thoroughly enjoyed the campaign. I also said hello to Jeff Drago, who was taking off as I got there.

The poles close ,at 8 p.m.,and your right Jumbo none of the numbers above mean anything.

Lots of complaints though about people being allowed to take off thier name tag,and escort people all the way inside .Not allowed by law.

Also from what I can see Voter turn out is huge.

I am willing to go out on a limb,and say highest turn out in 20 yeras.

At 5:54 pm yesterday I was called "Jumbo." Hopefully that was a typo and not an insult about my weight!
