YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, OFFICIALS at the headquarters of the Douglas County Republican and Democratic central committees said they had received reports of extraordinarily high turnout in the day. A sunny sky and warm weather in the
The previous record was 28,129 in the 1980 general election.
Jaimes said that no official totals would be released until all the ballots had been brought to her office, but that she would instead by her prediction for a turnout of 30,000.
Patty Jaimes, Douglas County Clerk,
predicted Monday that about 30,000 of the
39,826 registered voters in the county would
cast ballots yesterday.
"When we finally get everything in, I think some will be a little higher and some a little lower, but the average will be 80 percent," Jaimes said.
Jaimes said she thought turnout would be about 80 percent of registered voters.
Voters cast ballots in record numbers
Unofficial vote totals early this morning indicated that voters turned out in record numbers.
By 1:30 a.m. today, more than 29,000 votes had been counted in the county, with six precincts still out.
"I don't know if I am pleased yet," she said,
and he gave around 30,000 voters on then ill
please to be.
That percentage is up from the 52.6 mark set in 1980 but well below the record 62.5.
Nationwide, partial returns indicated that 53.5 percent of eligible voters participated in the election.
Ronald Reagan fared well in almost every demographic category
Yesterday afternoon, Jaimes described the flow to the polls as "a nice, heavy turnout," but declined to say whether she was pleased by the crowds.
morning and early afternoon contributed to the high turnout, the officials said.
HE CARRIED EVERY income group down to $10,000 and swept the once dependably Democratic Catholic vote. He ran away from a statewide voter vote. He also carried most ethnic groups.
Mondale was left with big majorities among only a few voter groups. He got nearly 40 percent of the black vote, 70 percent of the Jewish vote; 78 percent of pro-ERA voters; about 65 percent of the unemployed and nearly 70 percent of voting earners less than $5,000. He barely earned the $5,000 to $10,000 income group and lost everything above it.
Charlton sweeps race wins all 11 districts
"I really thought I would win." Charlton said "but I certainly don't expect this much."
Charlton said last night that she had expected to win, but not by such a large margin. Results as of 2 a.m. showed Charlton ahead of Bash by 3.555 to 2.484 votes.
"This is so great. It's the best I've ever done."

Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, won her third term as 46th District state representative by carrying all 11 districts in her race against Republican Julie Hack.
Hack walked across the county treasurer's office to congratulate Charlton when the ball was in bounds.
"I congratulated her on a fine race," Hack said. "I am very comfortable with the way the race went. We kept things in pretty good shape clear to end."
Charlton said the race between her and Hack had not centered on any real issues.
Hack lost the precinct in which she lives by a votes according to the unofficial late fateful election.
"I had optimistically hoped to win her penetrate by her teeth. Charlson said, 'I want you better.' But when
which she thought had hurt Hack's campaign.
"She did not do that" — she just spent the last two weeks, saying I had spent my time in Shanghai.
"Iissues were never really discussed," Charlton said. "Then at the end, she got kind of negative about things. To detain an applicant, you have to criticize her voting record.
"I think there may have been a backlash effect. I have been sent back there twice, obviously I've done things right. People just weren't buying what she said."
"I am committed to increasing state spending for education," she said. "The money will be there as the economy grows, and it must be slated for education."
One of the returns that pleased Charlton the most was the 5th precinct of the 4th ward, which she had lost in her two previous elections. She won that precinct 315 to 302
"That was an important one," she said as the figures were tabulated on the chalkboard. "I didn't know what to think about what would happen there."
She also said she was interested in working on bills to provide consumer protection for people buying used cars.
Charlton said she had several plans for the coming legislative session.
