Polling Place Was Quiet
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.

3. Quiet at my polling place also
Minneapolis 3rd ward 5th precinct at 11:40 pm.

Two registering to vote and me. A fellow left as I was coming in and one was approaching the door as I was leaving.

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.

8. Sounds nice
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.

9. I was #78 at about 8:30 this morning.
A few people coming in and out. Wish more people would take these primaries seriously.

10. I was #523 at 6pm. It was really quiet.
I do think the weather might influence turnout.

12. The poll worker I talked to said that they were estimating 25% turnout
if current trends continued. This was at about 6PM.

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