Voter #35 At Precinct 52

Another sign that the voter turnout is going to be lousy today: I was voter #35 at Precinct 52 at 3:30 p.m. I was the only one at the Assembly of God Church balloting place this afternoon. I asked the women for Precinct 50 at the nearby table how many had voted in their precinct today. And was told, basically, that it was none of my business. Apparently, that information must be some sort of top secret in that precinct. However, I did glance at the list used by one Precinct 50 worker to keep track of the number of voters -- and it appeared to be only 20 or so.
