Late-day poll watch
I just finished up my stint as poll-watcher, and the turnout, at 5 PM with about 3 hours left, was at 65%. Remember, those three hours are when folks get home from work, finish dinner, and can get out before the polls close ... so look for a 75% turnout, if not higher, in Maplewood.
If the rest of the country is like this, Kerry's got it made in the shade.

mid-day pollwatching
I'm just taking a quick break for lunch, from my poll-watching duties for local candidate David Huemer. The turnout at the precinct I am working has had phenomenal turnout so far - almost 50% of registered voters had already voted by 1 PM, and polls will be open for another 7 hours. Lots of people who've never voted before. It's amazing. And looking good.
