Turnout was steady at polling places across Hall County this Election Day as voters cast ballots in highly competitive races for governor and the U.S. Senate. About 250 voters had cast ballots at the Brenau Downtown Center by noon, a promising turnout, particularly in a mid-term election, said Poll Manager Evelyn Crain. Joseph Kelenfy, a Gainesville resident, said he voted for Republican candidates because he is worried about the state of the economy.
