Off the I-15

Not really, but turnout in Yermo is breaking all kinds of records.

Before Matt Peters, the Desert Dispatch’s sports editor, went out the final home game for the Silver Valley High School girls, he stopped at the polls in Yermo to see how things were going. There is a competitive race for Yermo’s Community Services District between incumbents Michael Henderson and Loney Weems and challenger Bob Smith for the first time in a while.

One poll worker told Matt the there are about 600 registered voters in Yermo. Thus far, about 400 of them had voted. Another person told him she has voted in almost every election and has never seen so many people.

Despite the turnout, poll workers told Matt that things have been running smoothly. No long lines, they told him, but a constant stream of voters.
