Mount Vernon 2 (which encompasses Cornell College) reported that voting throughout the day had been busy. More than 130 made changes or updates to their registration using same day voter registration.

That included a sizeable number of Cornell College students.

“We have to commend their residence life offices, who stayed open up until polls closed to make sure that students had the proper proof of address to update their voter registration,” said Kim Andresen, one of the poll workers.

“Even with the satellite voting station, we still had at least 100 Cornell College students voting here today,” said Mary Young, another poll worker at Mount Vernon 2. “it was so great to see so many voting for the first time in an election.”

Young also recounted the story of someone who said their grandfather would be proud to see them voting today.

“It really makes you feel proud to be a poll worker to hear those stories,” Young said.

Mount Vernon City Hall was littered with leaves from the heavy foot traffic outdoors and to the polling location during the course of the rainy day.

Carol Woods-Boren said that poll workers were aware there was a sign posted on private property, within 100 feet of the Mount Vernon 2.

“That’s not something under our control,” Woods-Boren said. “It’s on private property, we can’t have it taken down.”
