Some good weather could make for a high voter turnout today, says Foran High School polling station moderator William “Skip” Ziebell.

Foran is the only polling station for the Fourth District, which has a total of 7,042 registered voters. The city’s second largest voting district has 2,025 registered Democrats, 1,428 registered Republicans and 3,518 unaffiliated voters.
Ziebell said a presidential election is “always your heavy hitting” when it comes to voter turnout but he was still confident sunny weather and decent temperatures would bring a good amount of people to the polls Tuesday.
