committeewoman who was handing out literature. There are 1727 registered voters in the precinct. It's the largest in my township. As of 5PM, based on what the exiting voters told me, between 750 and 800 people had already voted in person. That works out to around 80 voters/hour and extrapolates to just over 1,000 votes not including the mail ballots, of which there are probably a couple hundred that will be majority Dem votes. Turnout will be good, probably around 70%, but short of the 2020 88% and 2016 79%.

The voters I observed over the 45 minutes I was there who were entering and exiting the poll all looked serious. There were a good number of women, most unaccompanied, and younger folks who looked to be Millenials and maybe an older Gen Z or two.
