   So I’m working the early voting primary election later today. CT just started having early voting this year. In many towns, Democrats are running unopposed in the primary so this is effectively only for Republicans. And, as far as I can tell, no presidential candidates are on the ballot. It’s weird. Will need to find out more.

   Guessing turnout will be low. Like, single digits low. Will we break ten today?

     Registrar said they mailed post cards to all registered Repubs in town letting them know about early voting, so folks were notified and polls open 8 am till 8pm. We are slow to embrace change here in rural New England.

     So, I got sent home since turnout is so light. Between yesterday and today, only 7 Republicans have turned up. Interestingly, three Democrats saw the Vote Today sign and came in and were very sad they couldn’t vote (Dems are uncontested in state level races).

     Now the contest is to see if more Dems wander in than Repubs over the rest of the early voting period!

     Also, we did have the presidential primary in April (and I worked it!) today was just contested state primary races.

     Mr. Bill repeated this.
