#97 at ward 10 in Lax this morning. I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone who isn’t voting. Everyone sitting around me at work has either voted already or plans on it!
I clicked in at 1,868 when I went after work (around 4:45). I was expecting I would be around 1,600. According to the 2000 census, Columbus has a total population of 4,479, with 26% under 18. That means there are 3,314 eligible voters. Doing the math, that puts Columbus at 56.3% of the population voting, with over three hours left to vote at that time. I wonder what the final count was.
