Slow Day at the Polls on Primary Tuesday

'Some of the people who work here even forgot,' joked one Lower Merion judge of election.

Tuesday was, as expected, a slow day for many of Lower Merion Township's 43 polling stations.

With none of the Lower Merion's commissioners facing a primary challenge, Paul Simpson, the judge of election at Church of the Redeemer, said the Bryn Mawr polling place had significantly fewer voters show than in previous primaries.

"I'd say it's less, but this is a particularly unexciting election," Simpson admitted, joking that "some of the people who usually work here even forgot. I came close to forgetting."
