High turnout expected here in Maine outside Portland, such that they kicked us non-profits (land conservation trust in my case) out of the high school so they could put more booths in. Shivering in the 28F weather this morning setting up, fun times. At 6:45AM there were already at least a hundred people in line, and very steady flow through mid morning, finally tapering by lunch. Need to head back later today and tear down our little booth, will be interesting how many people are voting late.
Other odd data, someone mentioned that the town had a huge increase in absentee voting, equal to almost half the usual turnout. Seemed odd, not sure if that was goofy or what. Anyway, I love election day, gabbing with candidates, voting, etc., hope everything turns out well.
