Pottawattamie County Auditor Marilyn Jo Drake is the top election official in Council Bluffs and the surrounding area. ”Each poll that calls in has been telling us that they have people waiting in line,” she says, “so it looks like the turn-out will be wonderful.”

Drake had predicted turn-out in her county would be about 45 percent for this election, but she’s now expecting voter participation to trend higher which is not the norm for a non-presidential election. ”Very, very unusual and it’s just wonderful,” Drake says. “Not only are they waiting in lines, but the phones are just ringing off the wall with people wanting to know where they go to vote.”

3. Here in Davenport there seems to be a helluva turnout

At least where I was at. There was a steady stream of people before, during, and after I was there. And it only took about 20 minutes for the entire process.
Let's hope that this means 1- Culver over Branstad, and 2- YES on retention of the Supreme Court three.
