"We only had one person vote between 7 and 9 a.m. in June," when Tom Leppert and Ed Oakley duked it out in the mayoral runoff.

Doubtful it's a sign of things to come: Bruce Sherbet, the man in charge of counting votes for the county, expects a woeful turnout of some 50,000 to 60,000 -- the passionate few, about half of whom have already cast their lot in early voting.
