Voter turnout high in King County

King County Elections says turnout has been robust so far:
As predicted, voter turnout is strong and things are running smoothly at the polls.

“The early morning rain does not appear to be keeping anyone away,” said Sherri Huff, King County Elections Director. “The poll workers are upbeat and happy about the energy in their polling places.”

Minor problems have been reported from a few polling places, but everyone has been able to vote successfully.
Poll voters need not worry about being unable to vote if 8 PM rolls around while they are still in line:
Voters concerned about reports of long lines at the polls should be reassured that anyone in line at their polling place at 8 p.m. will be able to vote. At 8 p.m. a poll worker will stand in line and announce “the polls are closed.” At that time, anyone in line will be allowed to vote.
If you haven't voted yet, what are you waiting for!?
