arrowIt's a five-alarm snoozefest at fire station precinct

Diana Marcum reports:

Clovis Fire Station No. 3 hosts a double precinct, with a total of 2,000 registered voters. About 30% of those people use mail-in ballots. Still, the polling place had seen 70 voters by 4:30 p.m.

“With elections in February, June and November … one, two, three … people are a little burned out on this voting thing,” said John Dibenedetto, a six-time poll worker. “A lot of people are waiting on November, getting ready for the firestorm. It's going to be a heated historical controversial election. All this national news swirling today, people aren't looking so much at the local elections.”
