It's pretty quiet here at the Municipal Center as the morning rush dies down. Poll workers say there's been a steady stream of voters but nothing out of the ordinary for local races. "Not like last year" with the presidential election, one says.

Here at the Chestnut Ridge Park Casino, voter turnout has been "brisk" and voters are "enthusiastic," poll worker Mike Nunn tells me. One of the busiest non-presidential local elections he's worked in 10 years, he said.
