Early voting in Harford County got off to a rousing start on Saturday as an overflow crowd lined the parking lot at the McFaul Activity Center in Bel Air, the county’s only site for voting prior to Election Day. By midafternoon, Harford Countians had cast nearly 1,500 votes in the 2012 presidential election, according to county election officials who said the polling place had been busy since morning. “It’s awesome,” Deputy Election Director Dale Livingston said of the voter turnout.
Election judge trainer Maggie Mundle speculated that voters were motivated by a close presidential race and pending bad weather from Hurricane Sandy, which is expected to hit the area starting Sunday.
Should the storm cause power outages as early voting continues into next week, Election Director Kevin Keene said the election would continue using paper ballots.
Early voting, which started on Saturday, will continue on Sunday, October 28th from noon – 6:00 p.m., and from 10: 00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Monday, October 29th through Thursday, November 1st at the McFaul Activity Center located at 525 West McPhail Road in Bel Air.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 6th.
I went by on Both Saturday and Sunday but the lines were a couple of hours long. Probably Wednesday now. Kinda makes you proud to see so many people exercising their franchise!
**HOT** Due to the weather an additional day has been added for Early Voting. FRIDAY November 2nd, 2012 the center will be open from 8am-9pm as well. Please pass the word, also information can be found at http://www.harfordvotes.info/
Yes Get it out of the way now, so that you can vote as your dead neighbor on election day. Sad
Do you have evidence of this or are you just making it up?
Evidence? You can just go and do it. They dont ask for ID, you can be whomever you want. I would like to have to show my ID.
