Scarborough

SCARBOROUGH -- At the state's largest polling station and Charlie Summer's hometown, the election warden, called today's voting participation "a dead day".

At 5:30 p.m. today about 1,300 voters. They had predicted to see some 2,000 voters but the total might reach 3,000 said Tody Justice, town clerk. There are 13,561 registered voters in Scarborough in a city of about 18,000.

Unlike other towns in Maine, Scarborough only had the state referendum, U.S. Senate primary and the Congressional races on the ballot. Other towns had school budget issues, legislative primaries and other local issues on the ballot. There is nothing here, Gledhill said.
