Just voted!

6:30 AM. I was voter 166! Usually for an off year election there are only about 30 people who got there before me. A big turnout is good news for us.

Other info: Paper ballot, 3 collection scanners, only one being used. 5 volunteers on laptops checking ids and verifying voter rolls. First time I have not seen any big books of names. No observers present. 4 Democratic volunteers handing out sample ballots. As usual, the Repubs just drop off signs and a table, but have no one to man their station.
