Election Day is today and voters are turning out to cast their vote.
WWL First News talked with a few voters waiting in line at one polling location in Jefferson Parish who say the wait time has not been that bad.
“I mean it…it is moving. I figure maybe about an hour I’ll get in so it’s about an hour wait,” said one man.
Volunteers stand ready to wipe clean and sanitize voting booths in between voters casting their vote.
“It’s a little longer but it is not as bad as I thought, listening to the radio today and some of the other states and what-not… people been waiting two hours,” said another man as he and his wife stood in line along the sidewalk of the Terrytown Volunteer Fire Station #51 on Heritage Avenue.
“We got out here about 8:45…8:50… its moving,” said this woman as she stood in line with her son who is a first-time voter. “Everything is going smooth so far and I early voted, I went to the Yenni Building it took me 20 minutes so Jefferson Parish has it under control, I haven’t had any problems.”
Voters have until 8:00 p.m. tonight to cast their vote before the polls close.
