I voted at approximately 1:15 PM, Precinct 9-4, at Little Earth of United
Tribes Early Learning Center. I was the only voter in the room and was
outnumbered by the election workers (hi, Niels!).
My ballot was #31. Looking on the bright side, I'm sure the election
judges need a good night's sleep
I was #105 in 8-6 at about 10 something AM.
When comparing turnout, though, be sure to compare it to primaries in
off-years. Of course there will be higher turnout in years with presidential
and state-wide elections also running.

At least no one can use long lines as an excuse to not participate in our

At 9 this morning, I was the only person on my page of the voting roll in 8-6
to have voted, apart from our esteemed list manager, who beat me to the polls.

Ouch. In ward 8, precinct 3 at roughly 9:30 am, I was lucky number 14 to vote.
I felt so alone.

I voted in my precinct, 13-3, at 9:15 am. There was almost no one
there, and I was voter #56.
This is from a precinct that had 2300 voters in 2004 general election
(IIRC). Last year I voted at about the same time, and was #280 or so.
I don'
I just voted in, knowingly, one of the lowest voter turnout precincts there
is in the city - I was #25. I was flabbergasted when I saw the number. Rain
or snow does it every time.

I don't know how this plays out city-wide, but low turn
