With an Hour To Go, Voter Turnout in Low/Mid 30s

The city's two largest polling places in terms of registered voters reported voter turnout percentages of 30 and 35 percent, respectively, at 7 p.m., an hour before polls close.

Foran High School, which serves the Fourth District, reported a turnout of 30 percent with 2,100 of 7,042 registered voters casting their ballot.

And Harborside Middle School, which serves the Fifth District, reported a turnout of 35 percent with 2,543 of 7,206 registered voters casting their ballot.

Mayor Ben Blake was at Harborside welcoming last-minute voters. The incumbent Democrat said he was able to visit every polling station and some twice.

Blake said he's also been busy with the duties of being mayor and that he's "anxious to get back to the governing of the city."
