Greene County Turnout Light

As of about 4:30 p.m., Greene County Clerk Richard Struckoff is still predicting a low turnout of about 12% for today's election.

He tells KY3 News that there's been a higher turnout in Republic and Fair Grove, two towns that have school bond and other issues on the ballot.

The election workers I spoke to today at the polling station at Cox Hospital reaffirm that. "It's slow. We've seen slower. But it's slow," one of the kind ladies told me.

I'll be keeping my eye on the Springfield City Council races tonight.

Dan Chiles is inviting supporters and friends to a watch party at the Agrario restaurant in downtown Springfield. Chiles said Councilman Conrad Griggs is expected to attend as well.

Cindy Rushefsky will be watching the returns with supporters at the Clarion Hotel, in the room across from the Classic Sports bar between 8-11 p.m. She said council candidate Jack Steck will be there.

Again, here are the races I'll be watching tonight:

Zone 2
Councilwoman Shelia Wright vs. Cindy Rushefsky

Seat C
Councilman Conrad Griggs vs. Doug Burlison

Seat D (Bob Jones' seat - Open)
Dan Chiles vs. Jack Steck

Last chance for predictions!

Tune in to KY3 News @ 10 tonight for your complete election results.
