If you voted in person Tuesday, you weren't alone. Cache County Clerk Bryson Behm said the drop boxes were busy all day and that a big rush was hitting the fairgrounds as polls neared closing time.
Polls closed at 8 p.m., but Cache County voters were still waiting to cast ballots. Reporter Brock Marchant said Behm estimated it would take about an hour to get everyone through. USU political science professor Damon Cann said long lines have become less common over the past decade as more voters mail ballots.
