Super Tuesday in Rochester: What we're working on

Here's a brief look at what we're working on today.

- Eye on the Vote: We've been asking you what issue is the most important to you. We want your opinion on this question - but that's not all. Who did you vote for? Why? Any problems voting? How was your experience? Share with Rochester your take on any and all things Super Tuesday. We plan on including you as much as possible in our TV coverage tonight.
- Local campaigns: Clinton, Obama, McCain, and Huckabee all have campaigns in Rochester that will be closely watching tonight's results. We'll catch up with all of them. There's no official party tonight locally for Mitt Romney, but we do plan on meeting up with perhaps his biggest supporter in WNY, and who it is may surprise you.
- Polling places: We'll have crews in place at several polling places around Monroe County. What issues are important to primary voters?
- Voter turnout: Both parties have been urging members to get to the polls. Will members respond? Keep in mind, the turnout for the November election was among the worst ever in Monroe County.
- New York's delegates: The Democrat party delegates will be divvied up proportionally within Congressional districts. Time to dust off the scientific calculator. The Republicans make it easy - winner takes all.
- How your county voted: We're actually going to be collecting results from all Upstate counties west of Syracuse. On this blog, we'll figure out who won Monroe, Ontario. Wayne, Livingston, and Orleans County. While the delegates aren't split up by county, it should be interesting.

The polls are now open. They will close in 9 hours.
