“We are expecting that results will start trickling in after 2pm, but the process is a little slow and frustrating for voters; people standing out here for hours just to get accredited and then vote.
“It is a little bit cumbersome and frustrating, but otherwise, it’s been good so far. I’m glad we saw a huge turnout of voters.”
