John Lombardi stood outside the Nathan Hale Middle School in Norwalk after voting, urging people to vote to have their voices heard. "I think people like to complain about something and it's usually politics," Lombardi said. "But it runs the community. It affects the live of all the people that live in the community."
With polls open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, voters have most of the day to get to their local polling place. But Liz Lyons, Republican moderator at the Nathan Hale School, hadn't seen a lot of traffic through the door. "It's what I expected," Lyons said. "Not a great turnout, but enough voters are walking through."
With the city using Skype to call in to city hall and an online database to view the register votes, some technical difficulties have popped up. "We've had some other issues getting into the city database. We have to troubleshoot that," Lyons said. "The issue with Skype is that the person on the other end has to answer the call. They have to have someone seated at the table. At this polling place, someone sits down and can't move until they get replaced."
One of the voters, Connie Discala, said she was basing her vote on whoever "showed they know how to lead and if they had good common sense."
"If you don't like what's happening you have to find someone that you like or you need to get active," Lombardi said.
