Voter turnout in Radium Springs continues to be impressive. As of 6:30 p.m., 295 of approximately 1,400 voters in that area had voted, which is about 21 percent. They live closer to the spaceport than those in <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Las Cruces<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>, but it\u2019s also a fairly liberal and pro-environment area, so it\u2019s not clear how those votes will swing.

More than 65 percent of the early votes were cast by Democrats, for whatever that\u2019s worth.
