Election Day 2006

The parking lot was about half full at 12 noon when I got there; my ballot was the 402nd to go through the optical scanner. The poll worker I spoke with said the site had been busy in the morning and he expected it to be busy this afternoon (polls close at 6:00pm HST).

Judging from the voter lists posted outside, there probably aren't more than a thousand or so voters assigned to that precinct, so turnout looked to be about 40% by lunchtime. There were maybe 20 booths for the SAT-style ballot users and one touch-screen machine designed for use by folks who can't use that variety. Of the 20, about half were full when I walked in.
