Redwood City Residents Take to the Polls

An election volunteer at the City Hall polling place said traffic has been steady so far today.

Redwood City residents are steadily taking the polls today, said Kay, an election volunteer at the City Hall polling location late Tuesday morning.

"Turnout has been pretty good so far," Kay said around 10:30 a.m. on Election Day Tuesday. "It's been steady all day so far. It was especially busy this morning, before work hours."

Kay did say she has had to ask several voters to remove their pins advertising their support for either President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.

"Unfortunately, yes, wearing pins like that is considered 'electioneering,' and is not allowed within 100 feet of a polling place," she explained. "But most people have been very nice and understanding and have removed them right away when I've asked."

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
