Local turnout

As it happened, my schedule today had me out and moving around town a bit during the mid-morning so I got to eyeball a number of polling locations along the way.  In some of the larger precincts there were noticeable lines like this one fire station on Jeff Davis and Baudin.

Voters lined up

When I voted this morning, the wait was about 15 or 20 minutes.  But many of the precincts I passed today looked relatively quiet. If I had to guess, I'd say the turnout is either low or average for an election with a President on the ballot. The line-ups and waits (where there were any) were pretty moderate and probably had more to do with the long list of amendments and propositions on the ballot than anything else.
