Just voted about a half an hour ago at my polling place in Jackson Co. and they told me I was just the sixth Republican they'd had all day. I hope that's not indicative of the rest of the state...I'd hate to think we're that apathetic.

It surprised me because I thought there was a lot of interest in this Senate race....but apparently no contest at the top of the ballot=no motivation to vote.

It's possible some of the mudslinging is keeping people away from the polls. I read that turnout is low across much of the state.

Well, as I'm sure you know, it matters greatly where your polling place is in Jackson County. Did you happen to vote in a town that has a large university-student population?

When I went to mine here in south-central Illinois, all three that I saw there at the time (two besides me) were Republicans. One of the voters was talking with the blue-hairs about The Passion. A little anecdotal hope for ya. :^)
