As for voter turnout at polling booths, a year has made a big
difference, according to officials in counties around the state. While
last year, most voting places had lines snaking around corners for the
presidential race, the response hasn't nearly been the same, officials
said.
"All the feedback I've gotten so far is that not only is it not like
last year, but even with the gubernatorial election, we're not getting
a big turnout," said Jerry Midgette, the administrator for the Somerset
County Board of Elections.
In Middlesex County, officials said they have not heard of any large
turnouts or major problems at the poling places -- only a few voters
who wanted to know if they could vote despite having forgotten their
mail-in ballots. They were told they could using provisional ballots.
