10,000-10,900 would be normal for Botetort based on the last 2 Governor elections, so it is still down.

Roanoke County’s turnout has been close to 31,000 votes that last 2 Governor races, so it is still down.

Roanoke City 23.56% is about 14,500. Normal Turnout is around 20-22,000 for the last 2 Governor’s races, so it is still down.

Still time to catch up before polls come, people getting off work.

Also those of you with % turnouts for certain areas, if they give the hard numbers can you post those too?

If you want to compare if the area is on par, at, or below turnout rates from the 05 and 09 Elections, see the following spreadsheet, Columns (G) and (Q)

In sounds from initial reports that turnout is down in most areas, but there is still 90 minutes or so to go and people should be getting off work might just be voting.

I said it before but I hope the polls didnt discourage the conservatives.
