There are reports of healthy turnout and even occasional long lines at Sangamon County polling places today, but no major problems so far as voters make their voice heard. Sangamon County Clerk Joe Aiello says by the time early votes and absentee and provisional ballots are added in with today’s polling, total turnout may be close to 75% of eligible voters.
The polls are open until 7pm – stay with 970 WMAY for election updates and complete coverage of the returns, starting at 7 o’clock, sponsored by Maldaner’s Restaurant.
