The precinct has 1,500 registered voters, and by around 7:30 p.m. the vote tally was at 899. Precinct judge, Doreen Vitullo handled her first year in this position with calmness and a smile, despite the snafu of one voter not finding his name on the books for that precinct, while his wife was listed there. Vitullo made a call to the Lawrence County Courthouse to find out why, and eventually found his name at another precinct nearby.
The overall tone was quiet and pleasant as most voters came and went well within 15 minutes of time.
