Big Impact on Voting

The weather had a big impact on voting in Cambria County. In some places there is still a half a foot of snow on the ground.
Cambria county election's director Fred Smith says Cambria normally has about a 35% voter turnout.
But this year it was closer to 25%. At a polling location in Chest Township, there was no power in the morning.
County officials brought them a 3000 watt generator to run the machines.
And the only light came from a battery powered lamp.
Monday night three polling places were without power but only Chest Township was still dark Tuesday morning.
