Not a big crowd like last week, but a steady stream. About the same number of people when I walked back by in 15 minutes. All new people.

There was a power failure for at least an hour this morning that slowed them down. They finally got approval to move to City Hall (has a generator) just about the time the power came back.

EDIT:

I haven't seen local figures other than how many absentee ballots had been requested.
