Lamanda Park polling place a ghost town

| | Comments (1) |

I was briefly worried when I went to the polls an hour ago as we were rapidly approaching noon- I didn't want to get caught up in the lunch "rush." I figured maybe there might be a short wait- but there was no one there. Nobody came in during the entire time I voted.

Not a big surprise considering the low turnout predictions (the figures from early morning showed a 2.49 percent turnout), but it still felt strange compared to the line I waited through in the November election at the same polling station.

I was the only one in my polling place. I entered as someone left and someone came in as I left. So a slow trickle rather than a ghost town
