Florissant Voter Turnout Looks Low

As campaign supporters stood outside of the polls in the windy and rainy conditions Tuesday, it seemed the weather was one of the factors keeping voters indoors.

As of early Tuesday afternoon, several campaign workers reported to Florissant Patch that voter turnout remained low.

At the , Thurley Zacheis and Judy Pappert of and ’s campaigns, respectively, stood with their umbrellas and campaign shirts waiting for voters to arrive.

“It’s been steady,” Zacheis said. “It’s slow.”

Pappert said that as of noon, there had been almost 100 people who had come to vote.

“They’re not waiting in line,” Zacheis said. “They’re in and out.”

Around other poll places, it seemed to be a different story.

She said only 75 people had turned out to the polls.

That’s more than the number at .

Denny Wynn worked outside of the poll on behalf of Judge Kevin Kelly. He had been working since noon and said that 40 to 45 people had turned out there for the entire day.

Wynn did have a prediction about the results.

“It’s definitely going to be an every-vote-counts situation,” he said.

Polls close at 7 p.m.
