A vote for umbrellas, Dems

It's a dreary, drizzly start to the election day here at St. Lawrence Church in Price Hill, but voters are still coming in at a steady, if slow, pace. Poll workers say everything is going smoothly.

Sisters Marie and Linda Coroi were among the pre-dawn ballot-casters, voting straight Democrat because "it's time for a change," Marie said. Republicans "ain't done nothing right."

"They're not there for the people," Linda said, speculating that the recent dip in gas prices will end as soon as the elections do. "They're there for themselves." Submitted by Lori Kurtzman
