Will be watching Delaware with interest.

I voted at lunchtime in a highly conservative/Republican district. I asked the poll workers, “How’s the turnout?”

“Very heavy,” replied one. “Extremely heavy,” said another.

Now that I've finally caught up on this thread, I will report.

I voted at about 12:30. Small town in WV (4,394 people). Polling place in a church with one computer touchscreen. First thing, had to show voter registration card which the lady matched to my entry in "the book". The book has all registered voters in our precinct listed in 1 inch spaces with a tear-off end piece. I had to sign on my entry and she gave me the tear-off piece and a pencil.

I decided not to vote straight ticket just in case. I noticed that all the people I wanted to vote for were listed first in the columns. Voted for John Raese, Shelley Capito and the rest were mostly Tea Party candidates. I didn't notice what number I was, but it's a very small precinct. The touch screen functioned well and I could see the printed ballot in a side window of the computer. After I voted I had to give my little "receipt" to another lady who threaded it onto a string. The stack of receipts was about an inch thick. This is pretty much a Republican county. One of very few in WV. Our Clerk of Courts is a Dem, but I know her and she is a Christian and I believe she is honest. I don't expect any voter fraud in our county. Can't speak about the Sec. of St.
