Unofficial results show 241,020 ballots
were cast this election.
About 46,800 people voted early and
absentee combined, which Secretary of State Natalie Tennant's office called a
midterm primary record. Still, turnout remained low.
Midterm primary turnout has been cut in
half since 1994, when 39 percent voted.
Tennant's office says there were minor
issues, like incorrectly numbered precincts and inconvenient road construction.
Logan and Hardy
county precincts experienced power outages, but voting was uninterrupted after
officials switched to battery backup.
Canvassing begins Monday.
