Shortly after 10:30 a.m., Republican U.S. House candidate Martha Rainville popped into the polling place at Williston Central School with her two sons, Alex and Nick, and campaign aide Courtney. Campaign dog Brutus, staff and volunteers were waiting to herald the moment.

Voting was a snap for the Rainvilles. Apparently, they all knew exactly who they were voting for. (So did her Democratic opponent, Peter Welch, who cast his ballot weeks ago by absentee.)

The snap they weren't looking for came last night when a valve went and the basement flooded. Not exactly the sort of thing you want happening any time, but especially on election eve of your congressional run. A neighbor managed to do enough of a fix so the crew could shower before heading out to the polls.

Steady stream of other voters in Williston too. One reported case of a voter being on the absentee list when he didn't think he should be. He was sent off to Superior Court.

What else are folks seeing out there at the polls?
