The polls are open

... and voting is brisk at the Sycamore Township administration building on Kenwood Road. If Kurt Thomas and his friends are any indication, the younger vote will be out in force.

A polling place worker reminded him that quiet is expected in the voting area. Submitted by Katie Clavey
