NJ.com offers similar assessment of New Jersey turnout to what I have heard:
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.
Some voting machine problems have been reported in Essex, Somerset and Gloucester counties.
In Essex, Union, and Morris, officials said they had not heard about the turnout by early afternoon, but in Hunterdon County, officials said it was busier than they expected.
I had reported earlier that Hunterdon’s turnout was the highest in the morning.
If turnout is lower than usual for a gubernatorial election, it’s a bad sign for Corzine. But we’re still awaiting the post-work rush . . .
