(KSN News Photo) "I'll wait as long as I need to," Alexis Charbonneau, the last voter, said. "I don't got anything else to do today." "It's gone very smoothly," Laura Rainwater, Sedgwick County election commissioner, said. "They've been willing to stand out in the rain. We brought some canopies in from emergency management to help, but obviously, there weren't enough canopies for that many voters." The election office added 24 paper polling stations, hoping to get people through the line more quickly.
