Here are some Election Day updates care of WBZ TV Boston on today's special election in Massachusetts:
LATE-POLLING: A Suffolk University survey taken Saturday and Sunday showed Brown with
double-digit leads in three communities the poll identified as
bellwethers: Gardner, Fitchburg and Peabody. Internal statewide polls for both sides showed a dead heat.
TURNOUT: In contrast to the light turnout for the party primaries last month, there are already signs of a heavy turnout . . .
Massachsuetts Secretary of State William Galvin told WBZ he expects
about 40-percent of voters to turn out for the special election
statewide. Galvin said about 800,000 came out for the primaries and he believes
that should double to 1.6 million based on the intense interest in this
campaign.
