ENFIELD, CT — Enfield residents headed to the polls Tuesday for the 2016 midterm election. Polling places in Enfield are now closed.

An early morning report indicated lengthy lines at each of the town's four polling places. In late afternoon, candidates from both parties reported a heavy voter turnout throughout the day.

"You can't complain if you don't vote," resident Fred Centrella said upon emerging from Enfield Street School. "I went with Trump, mostly for the NRA thing, plus I honestly believe Hillary is a liar."

In Enfield, the race for the 7th Senatorial District involves Republican incumbent John Kissel and Democratic challenger Annie Hornish. Kissel is a 12-term incumbent and a Chief Deputy Minority Leader. Hornish served as a State Representative from 2009–2011.

In the 58th State House District, the Democratic incumbent is David Alexander and the Republican challenger is Greg Stokes. Alexander is completing his second term. Stokes is a member of the Enfield Town Council and past chairman of the Enfield Board of Education.

In the 59th State House District, three-term Democratic incumbent David Kiner is not seeking re-election. The candidates are Democrat Anthony DiPace, former chairman of the Enfield Planning and Zoning Commission, and Republican Carol Hall, a member of the Enfield Town Council.

Candidates for registrar of voters are Democrat Lewis Fiore and Republican David Wawer.

The candidates for president and vice president are Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Pence, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, and Green Party Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka.

For United States Senate, the candidates are Democratic incumbent Richard Blumenthal, Republican Dan Carter, Libertarian Richard Lion and Green Party Jeffery Russell.

For United States Congress, the choice is between Democratic incumbent Joe Courtney, Republican Daria Novak, Libertarian Daniel Reale and Green Party candidate Jonathan Pelto.

Courtney voted in the early morning at Vernon Center Middle School. When asked if it were obvious who he voted for, the Democrat running for a sixth term in Congress said it was. Courtney said he does not remember a more “exhausting” campaign season, but hopes the grind translates into more people getting into the process.

“I think everyone in America is ready for the election to be over,” Courtney told Patch. “By tonight and into tomorrow, there will be some happy people and some very upset people in this country. We have to take what has happened this year and make it work for good change in Congress.”

As Courtney was walking out of the polling place, a woman came up to him and implored him to “keep Obamacare.”
