The primary election polls are coming to a close, but the work of those counting the ballots has only just begun.

it's a busy day for poll workers, and authorities in the voter's registration office, dealing with everything from printers jamming and difficult voters, but there hoping everything runs smoothly when the polls shutdown.

candidates were stumping in the streets today, but that doesn't compare to the work of the poll workers.

This year County Clerk Susan Thomas answered questions about voting, including registered independent voting ballots.

This morning they had issues with machines, but it was nothing a group of high schoolers couldn't fix.

These teenagers are just some of the young folks who got involved with year's primary.

Thomas wants to encourage students to sign up and learn the election process, and sparking their interests for future elections.
