Both he and Mikala Postell,22, said they voted for Bernie Sanders.

"I actually don't want Trump to be in office. He's definitely causing a lot of problems, and I think Bernie Sanders will hopefully turn this around," said Mikala Postell.

Although Fae Madden said she, didn't want to disclose who she voted for, she said she was proud to vote.

"I'm surprised there wasn't a line out the door," she said.

Poll workers told passers by that they, too, were surprised more people weren't showing up during the lunch.

Elena Koumna, 40,who preferred not to share who she voted for, told Patch this election was incredibly important to her, too.

"We're just trying to chose the best person for the job. I feel like our ethical and moral standards are declining. I'm hoping we can get a candidate who can get us back to where we were," she said.
