Election Day 2012 is certainly turning out to be very different from previous elections. Not only are there different voting machines from the presidential election four years ago, but many people are voting in different poll sites. There is also the added number of Hurricane Sandy displaced voters who have been allowed to cast their ballot for President and U.S. Senator at the nearest poll site.
Election Day 2012 started off cold, but the lines were long as soon as the polls opened. Turnout is much heavier than usual this year due to the Presidential election. Polls will shut down after the last person that was on line at the scheduled closing time is allowed to cast their ballots. It is expected that may take up to one hour after the scheduled closing tome.
Results will be posted as soon as they come in.
