All right I voted

Friends Jill and Alex can testify on my behalf. They saw me.

The Hope Church parking lot was humming, a lot busier than it was during the override vote and significanly more activity than the primary.

Perhaps we'll have a good showing. But the rain won't help.

Turnout prediction?

Gut says 43% but my fingers want to type 53%.

I'll go with the fingers. 53%

Check in with your first-person accounts from the polling places if you could.

You Be The Voter-TODAY

With over .04% of the eligible voters checking in, it looks like we're in for a horse race in today's mayoral campaign.

Well, perhaps 50 out of 12,000 eligible voters isn't a completely representative sampling, but considering that only half of those people may vote, we're getting close to a 1% sampling. (Yes I'm using fuzzy math.) Our polls will be open until 8 p.m.

Of course, some participants may not even live in Newburyport. And I can't vouch for the complete accuracy of the Blogger voting system, but hell it never kept us from counting Florida's votes.

So keep those votes coming and don't forget, "TODAY IS ELECTION DAY."

Polls opened at 7 a.m., and they'll stay open until 8 p.m. tonight.

For all your voting info, go here.

And, if you haven't already, take a few minutes to participate in our polls. It'll be interesting to see how these results match the real results tonight. Check out the Newburyport Blog for the real tally tonight.

Last Day To Vote

Don't forget to participate in the Park or Parking Poll in the column to the right. NRA Chairman Nat Norton, in a lapse of reason, admitted he actually has this blog bookmarked. So he will see the results.

Polls close at Midnight.

Safe and Happy Halloween.
