At 5:30pm, 80% of the registered voters in my district had voted! This is completely unprecidented, and from what I heard (as a poll worker, I cannot campaign), anyone who calls it one way or another is a major risk taker!

I meant to add: in my district, there are 78 absentee ballots, and when I left, 12 provisional ballots. SEVENTY EIGHT!!!!
For those who have never been poll workers, absentee ballots cannot be opened until after the polls are closed, and are a royal pain to count - when there are only a few. It's one of the reasons that I take all "counts" prior to two hours or more after the polls close with a grain of salt.
