New Hampshire | Heavy Voter Turnout

I just returned from voting at my local ward house and found I had to wait in line even at 10:30 in the morning, after the usual vote-before-I-go-to-work crowd had come through. Poll workers there said its been busy since they opened this morning. The other ward houses within Laconia that I passed by to and from voting had full parking lots and numerous other cars parked along the streets. Conversations with co-workers voting in nearby towns show the same.

Phone calls to friends elsewhere in the state, covering a couple of dozen towns, also garnered comments to the effect of “Gee, I haven’t seen this many people turn out since..ummm..forever!”

A brief report on New Hampshire Public Radio also shows heavy voter turnout statewide.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
