Voter Turnout is Steady at District 9

Poll workers at First Presbyterian and Trinity Church in South Orange said lines were out the door at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning.

By 11:00 a.m., the lines had disappeared but voter traffic remained steady. A stream of voters continued to walk through the church's wooden doors.

Irene Hunt and Howard Tarplin were watching closely as voting challengers. 

"We're here to challenge any votes that don't appear to be legitimate," Tarplin said. "Voting has been very busy and there has been no controversy."
