Early voters get the ballot rolling in Porter County

Valparaiso resident E.J. Proffitt, left, checks in to cast an early ballot on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at the Porter County Administration Building while Pamela Schroeder, also of Valparaiso, looks on.Just about everyone showing up for the first day of early voting at the Porter County Administration Building was there for the same reason – to beat the crowds. A couple of glitchy printers had them waiting in line just a bit a little after voting opened at 11 a.m.

Schroeder, who’s lived in Valparaiso since 1970, said, “I used to be the first person in my precinct who would vote because I get up at 5 a.m. and I would be there at 6 a.m.” As for races voters were concerning themselves with, Tom Schneegas of Valparaiso had just one. “Just the president one,” he said. “That’s the main thing, trying to get this country back on track.”

Clerks Jennifer Gervase and Michelle Emery, both of Valparaiso, had to briefly take to printing labels by hand for voters’ envelopes. Across the room, their colleague Cher McCotter, also of Valparaiso, was also having trouble with her label printer. When it stopped working the tablet voters sign also went out for a few minutes.
