Chicago Election Board Chairman Langdon Neal says it started out as a very quiet day and was steady all day long. He says turnout likely won’t hit 30 percent for voters in the city.<\/p>\n

He says all Chicago polls opened on time and closed on time.<\/p>\n

Neal says there were only minor problems at polling places in the city, including three judges at three different precincts who were removed for drinking alcohol.<\/p>\n

Illinois’ primary is the first election of 2010.<\/p>\n
