With swine flu present nationwide -- some polling places took matters into their own hands.

Several states enacted strict measures to keep polling places extra-clean today.

Erie County did not take that step, instead leaving it up to individual polling places to keep things sanitary.

At one of them -- in Summit Township -- election officials had sanitizer on hand for voters to use.

Sue Berdis, a poll worker, says, "My kids had the swine flu last week, so I asked my brother this morning – he’s a supervisor -- to get hand sanitizer out and he did. And so people have been using it on their way out."

Workers there also wiped down the screens of the voting machines once an hour.

They typically do that every three or four hours.
