When the polls opened at 7 a.m. this morning, long lines had already gathered in front of most polling stations on campus. Poll workers at Harnwell College House estimated that nearly 70 students had lined up to vote when the station opened. Harrison College House and the Walnut Street Library (on the southeast corner of 40th and Walnut Streets) each had about 30 in line at the start of the day, according to poll workers at both locations.
Although workers said the high early turnout made for a somewhat hectic morning, the lines didn’t seem to impede anyone from voting — the workers didn’t see anyone leave their line before getting a chance to vote.
