Election Returns To Cause Usual Nightmare
In a city and county, leaders forecast turnout ranging from 50 to 70 percent amid war and travel disruptions. Weather, war work, and service members affect interest, with Republicans hoping for about 60 percent and Democrats around 50 to 70 percent. Final results likely late Tuesday into Wednesday as county precincts report gradually. The race features governors, congressmen, judges, and seven constitutional amendments. Democratic and Republican committees plan late campaigning and turnout operations.
