Was an election judge at St. Matthews Church on the West Side (precinct 13). We had 101 in-person voters and about 80 absentee voters. When we turned in the hard copies at City Hall, Ward 2 was turning in the results fastest :)
But a very, very slow day. Did some figuring and think we may have closer to 100 voters an hour for the general, if we have a similar turnout to 2000 this year in the precinct.

For his work, Schaeffer was awarded the Justice Department's prestigious John Marshall Award as well as the Presidential Rank Award -- the highest honor presented to career government employees. In February of 2002, however, Schaeffer publicly resigned from the EPA after 12 years of service, saying he could no longer pretend that the White House and the Department of Energy were not undermining the law and his department's ability to enforce it. �I'm not na�ve; I live in Washington and everything's political, but enforcement was one of those areas that was fairly well protected,� Schaeffer said. Eric Schaeffer now is the Director of the Environmental Integrity Project (www.environmentalintegrity.org <http://www.environmentalintegrity.org/> ).
