More from the polls, as reported by our commenters - who rock, by the way. None of this, by the way, is in any way wrong -- it just shows your usual level of active campaigning out there...
At 9th St. and Market: Vern and DiCicco troops out in force, but being pleasant.
At the polling place at Moore College around 7:30: There was also a loud announcement identifying the lone Republican in the room (so that the machine could be adjusted). There was some spontaneous laughter at that comment.
At each of the three poling places I went to: Vern A. has hordes of people handing out water, knocking on doors. This is not a good sign for Franky Di. True confession, I took a water even though I voted for Frank.
More from the same commenter…There are about 3 electricians (white t-shirts) at each of the three poling places I went to and there are tons young, idealistic kids (red t-shirts) knocking on doors. I "outed" the electricians by saying Local 98 and pumping my fist.
And more… [Sherrif candidate Michael] Untermeyer has a person at each place. It is interesting that they are all African-American

We voted first thing this morning. Turnout at 7:15 a.m. was moderate. Paul Vallas was there--didn't know he was a neighbor until today. The line was short but it was still a 20-25 minute wait because of the ballot. Tonight will be a long one for pollworkers and late voters.

I was #111 at our polling place at 22nd and Parrish (15-9) at 12:30 pm. No line; one other voter.

Center City anecdote...
The Carpenters at City Hall have handmade signs. I suspect that the reason they did not authorize printed signs is because they thought there was some chance of Brady dropping out at the last minute.
Just a thought...
