It's getting exciting, sports fans!  I'll be checking in and letting you know what I see when I start making the rounds this afternoon.

Current voting totals show more Democrat votes in than Republican with a healthy number of non party voters in the mix.

Currently at 11:47            Dem votes in:       53,829
                                       Rep votes in :        50,764
                                        Others:                12,982

It's that "Others" column that's so interesting to me. 

You have to assume that Mayor Brown and other Dems running county-wide are happy to see the current stats.  My belief is we'll see record turnout in 7, 8, 9, and 10 due to the spirited district races there.  Turnout bumps there, I presume, would be to the Dems' benefit tonight.

Check out #jaxpol on Twitter.  James Poindexter, Ben Weaver, Jon McGowan, and Alexander Pantinakis are talking turnout numbers.  With some side commentary from Ben Davis of Intuition. Multi-partisan and good stuff.

Kristian Gore: Went to vote at 7am and the poll worker for Lenny Curry for Mayor Demanded my ballot be taken away while she disputed my photo ID. Apparently my VA card made me suspicious, fortunately the poll workers did not let her stop me from voting.
Spread the word. this was at St. Andrews Episcopal Church 7801 Lone Star Road.

Ok I am here with Ben Weaver at the riverside number crunching location.  Ben and his team are monitoring the numbers and we are going to try and report this to you by the precincts.

Stephen, any way to get the report by districts?
