JaxVotes – News4Jax’s Election Blog

So far  Jerry Holland tells us the day has been going well.   The problems have been few.   Some scanners have failed but they have been replaced.     He is still hoping for a 80% possibly 90% voter turnout.     The next thing to watch for will be what happens at 7 PM…  that is when the polls close.    The last person in line will be allowed to vote.. those that arrive at 7:01 or later  will be out of luck.    They will hand out numbers to those in line   and you must have a number to vote.    Holland says they will not release results until after 8 PM .. But if there are still people in line in Duval County  they will wait until they vote…   We are at the election center where they are still opening absentee ballots to be processed..  early votes and absentee votes will be the first to be  counted when polls close..  They have been fed into machines  just not counted.
