[Mpls] turnout: 9-4

[Jenny Heiser]

Just home from 9-4 at Little Earth. Great turn out.
Both my husband and I had to wait for a voting booth.
As of 10:20 am, 186 folks had voted. A steady trickle
of folks arriving to vote. This is a good turn out for
this part of town. Outside the polls there was 1 legal
observer, 2 folks from MAPA, and 1 from MoveOn.Org.

Lots of lit at our home, only 1 door knocker this
morning (2 yesterday). As others have noted, countless
phone calls.
