2/3 of the way down.

(9 a.m.) - It was a sign of the intensity of interest in today's Democratic primary that Adolph Raymond, 87, of Gallitzin voted for the first time in 25 years.

It was the same sign on a broader scale that Raymond was part of a mini-surge in the borough's first precinct, where 20 people cast ballots at the fire hall by 8 a.m., a time by which two or three voters normally show up, said judge of elections Esther Louise Jasper.

Raymond came to the polls because he thinks the country needs "straightened out."
He voted for Hillary Clinton, who is trying to preserve her fading chances with a Pennsylvania victory against Barack Obama.

He's an old PennDOT unionist, a member of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers, he said by way of explanation.

The precinct is getting a rush of voters today because the area is heavily Democratic, Jasper said.
Last November, about 400 people voted in the precinct, and the early turnout indicated that number would get passed, she said.

Voter Patrick Donald Jasper also voted for Clinton.

"I like Bill," he said, as he got ready to drive away. "She's just as good."
Anything's better than Bush, he said.

Thirty seconds later, he leaned out his car window and said not to use that last comment, "or my brother-in-law will kill me."
A reporter pleaded with him to relent.
"Leave it in," he said.
