Noel was the first person to cast his ballot Tuesday at 7:02 a.m, at Fire Station #3. He arrived to find the doors closed while workers were setting up inside.

Dressed in a flannel shirt and blue jeans, Noel holds a book in his left hand as he waits to be let in to vote.

“I don’t really have anything to do until around noon today,” said Noel. “I was awake, so just decided to get it done.”

Noel’s opinion on the election is that of many people in this election. He knows who he wants to vote for but he doesn’t like any of the candidates.

“No matter who wins, we lose,” Noel said. “ With smiles we chose the candidate that appears nicest and we do it in this cold weather.”
