No major problems experienced in five Northeast Ohio counties; expect lines at some polling locations.
Ohio voters are heading to the polls today in droves under sunny, blue skies and there are essentially no Election Day problems being reported in five Ohio counties that are home to Patch websites. Stark County Jeanette Mullane, deputy director of the Stark County Board of Elections, said all 160 polling locations in the county opened on time this morning and have seen a steady stream of electors. “It’s been consistent voting all morning, which is what’s expected during a presidential election year,” she said. Stark County’s touch-screen voting machines are all operational and ready for use, said Mullane. But even if some weren’t, it wouldn’t be an issue for long. “Sometimes the machines get paper jams or other things that can be taken …

Returned Absentee Ballots Also Lower Than the 2008 Presidential Primary
Election officials in Cuyahoga, Lake, Stark and Portage counties say voter turnout for Super Tuesday's presidential primary has been anything but super. "So far, we have a 1.5 percent voter turnout based on our samplings of the polling places throughout Cuyahoga County," said Jane Platten, director of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland. "Usually, the samplings are pretty much on target. We don’t have a lot of voters out there yet. But I’m hoping that with the good weather and some generated interested throughout the day, we will get a higher turnout."

Voters flocked to the polls in greater numbers than in other off-year elections
Updated at 9:45 p.m. Northeast Ohio elections officials say the unofficial, final voter turnout is higher than expected. With 100 percent of the vote counted in Lake County, for example, the voter turnout totaled 52 percent, according to final, unofficial results. Earlier in the day, Lake County Board of Elections Director Janet F. Clair said voter turnout was very steady and expected a voter turnout of 35 percent. Traditionally, in an odd year election, voter turnout is about 18 percent to 24 percent. Nevertheless, Scott E. Daisher, deputy director of the Lake County Board of Elections, would not call it a record high voter turnout but said it is a "larger than usual off year election." "It's been a very large (turnout) and I know a …
