I just got back from my polling place. There were only a couple of others voting, but the poll worker said it's been slow but steady.
Got home just before the deluge started. It's raining like crazy now.
Now, for the waiting.

5. Yeah, it was also quiet at the place where I voted. |

I was #131, and I voted for Dayton. Hopefully he'll win today's primary.

I voted in a tiny former church like that years ago when living in So Minnesota. Those were the days...people weren't required to register before voting in rural areas.

7. I was #200 at my polling place shortly after noon. |
|
Twice as high at that time as the last couple of primaries I've voted in. Lots of seniors in my St Paul precinct - right off of Lexington and Edgecumbe in the MacGroveland area.

13. Some precincts in my county were almost at 50 percent. A judge race helped. |
