Voting “steady” in Milford area

Voting was “steady” at Milford High School for the Sept 10 primary

Voting has been steady in the Milford area for the primary election, according to poll workers at two different locations. Both Morris Early Childhood Center in Lincoln and Milford High School workers felt turn out was good and that, although there were dead periods, there were also busy periods as well. Voters who turned out today had various reasons for doing so.

“I don’t care for early voting or mail in voting,” Shirley Washington, who voted at Morris, said. “I feel like that opens up for voter fraud. I think there just needs to be one day for the primary and one for the general election.”

With Delaware’s primary late in the season, the presidential candidates are already selected before Delawareans head to the polls for the primary. This was the case this year, so many who voted today felt it was more about local races than national ones.

“It was important to me to vote for my candidate in both state senate and house,” John Montgomery said. “Both races had primary candidates in my party, so I wanted to be sure I cast my vote to be sure the person I wanted in office could head to the general election.”

Larry, who requested that we not use his last name, felt this was the time to get career politicians out of office and move in new people who might make better decisions.

“It is time to clean house,” Larry said. “I am not voting for anyone who is in office now and casting my votes for those who are brand new.”
