![]() With the eyes of the country on Indiana, scores of Hoosiers made their way to the polls to exercise their right to vote on Primary Election Day. In the national contest, presidential candidate and Republican front-runner Donald Trump and Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders have succeeded in winning over Indiana voters today as projected winners,, nearing the final stage of that primary race. Vigo County voting centers were set up at several locations, with poll workers saying they were kept busy until polls closed at 6 p.m.. The workers stationed at Memorial United Methodist Church in Terre Haute all said it started off smoothly, but quickly became very busy. With heavy voter turnout, some minor glitches were reported throughout the county. Many people -- of various ages-- admitted it was the presidential contest that piqued their interest this election season. As they made their way into the centers, they were greeted in the parking lots with hopefuls for three County Council seats as well as candidates for judge and other contests. They spoke with each other about manufacturing jobs in the state, Obamacare and other issues while standing in line together. Lines were reportedly more than an hour long at times at some locations, including Baesler's Market on Poplar Street. A couple miles away, at Booker T. Washington Center on South 13th Street, many voters reported pleasant experiences and that they were able to cast ballots fairly quickly.
