I worked the election Nov. 5, at the Waverly Volunteer Fire Department and was extremely happy at the number of people that came out to vote. Probably a record for early voting and election day turnout!

I was most impressed with the number of first time voters, especially the young men and women!

Also surprising was the number of “older” men and women that voted for the first time.

Also, hats off to all the poll workers that volunteered their time and effort. I also have to give a big thanks to the clerk’s office that planned and ran the election. They were great in helping with technical problems and being available all day to answer questions that came up!

Thanks everyone for getting involved!
