A steady stream in Lincoln

The polling place in Lincoln is easy to spot. Look for all the campaign signs planted on the grass leading up to it, and a parking lot full of cars and fire trucks which had been pulled out of the garage to make room for the voting going on inside.

There was a line forming outside the polling place and with about an hour and half to go before the polls close, poll workers were expecting to see even more voters lined up as they got off of work.

Lincoln had seen "fabulous" turnout all day long, said inspector Anna Carmichael. "Everything has gone good," she said. 1,059 voters had cast their ballots by 5:30 p.m.

And more appeared to be showing up in a steady stream.
