As of the 4 p.m, we have a 3.64 percent turnout for Montgomery County, which is 2,043 voters. The leading precinct is Margaret Beeks Elementary school off Airport Road, with a total of 240.

The day isn’t over and the county brought in a higher turnout rate than in 2005. As a frame of reference, though, Burruss Hall auditorium holds 3,003 people, so more people came to see Third Eye Blind perform last fall than people have come to the voting booths.

The numbes of voters in Montgomery County for the 2008 presidential election topped 40,000, which is like filling up the East and West endzones of Lane Stadium.

A little over two hours left to vote.
