For the people over at the Yocona Community Center voter turn was pretty steady. No one was waiting for over 10 minutes this time around. The voters were in and out within the 10-minute mark as well. The voters seemed to be in more of a rush this time than earlier this morning. The crowd was mainly full of lunchtime goers and retired people.

“I came this time (10:44 a.m.) because I just got up. Nothing to it. Took no time. I was worried about hitting the wrong button for the first question. That was the most important question, said Buster.” “I wanted to hit the right button I am a slow reader, said Cherry.” Buster and Cherry are a retired couple that live in the Yocona community. They have been married for 61 years and decided to vote together this morning.

The people around this time of day were still fairly friendly. More people however were not willing to comment. Not because they were in a rush to get somewhere they just did not want to.

One woman by the name of Amy Burnett was out also later this morning to cast her vote. She had a group of 5 kids with her. They all received “I voted” stickers. When asked why she voted at this time Burnett said, “Just to be able to exercise my right as a citizen. Important for my kids to see it. They can look back on it so they can see they were apart of the election.

Linda Waldman and Jessica Wroth stopped by at the polls taking a break from work. They are both self-employed businesswomen. Waldman said, “I am nervous this is the first time I ever felt an importance of voting until now. We came at this time because it worked into our schedules like this.”  Waldman had the same comment as Wroth. Both Waldman and Wroth were in the age range of 30-45.

A woman by the name of Helen took some time to comment between trying to vote and help her husband vote as well. Helen said, “It is my duty as an American citizen to vote. Who I am going to vote for I have no idea.” Helen could be seen with her husband walking to the polls and continuing her conversation about the election with him.

Another group of people took to the edge of the community center to represent his dad running for County School Board Member. Kevin Parker voted earlier today. According to Parker, “It was a hiccup in my voting process. They gave me the wrong ballot, but it was fixed right away.”

Another couple that ranged from 65-80 came to vote around 10:30 a.m. “Happen to be handy. Went to a thing at school and I was still dressed. I would have come earlier if it was not for her and the school function.”

“I figured it would be non rush hour. Pretty easy. I am excited about the election and to see who will win said, Heather Sheed a house wife.”

One of the same things was saw in this group of voters like in the last. Everyone knew each other and they came out not only to support their county but their town as well. According to Larry Howell, “I have to go to church at 10:45 a.m. to unload some stuff off the truck. I am killing two birds in one stone.”
