Over 300,000 registered voters in Monroe County (Rochester, NY metro). 25% have voted as of 10 a.m.

At 10 a.m., 25 percent of Monroe County’s eligible voters had voted, according to the county Board of Elections. That compares to 22 percent by 10 a.m. in the 2000 presidential election, and 20 percent in the 1996 election, according to the elections board.

Democrat and Chronicle

Earlier:WHAM radio is reporting that turnout before work is moderate to heavy in the voting places it visited. Temp is 48 in Rochester, with cold rain. Driving forces: Cong. Tom Reynolds [R] in hot contest in the Buffalo to Monroe County district. State Assemblyman Randy Kuhl [R] vieing with a real cutie pie, Samara Barend [D], to replace Amo Houghton [R] in the Southern Tier Congressional District. Barend is a carpetbagger, moving in to contest the race. Should she win, lib Dem, but will surely qualify as the hottest Congresswoman on the Hill. Turnout in Western New York should be driven by these two races.

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.
