Residents make votes count
By Amy Lant-Wenger Assistant Editor REGIONAL else about this political season, one thing remains undisputable for all time. It was never without suspense. Here in Elkhart County, workers noted a brisk turnout in both Nappanee and Wakarusa. Nappanee's center at the First Brethren Church was fairly congested for much of the day, with wait times for as long as 90 minutes to two hours reported at peak traffic times. Wakarusa's Bible Baptist Church fared a bit better, with a few voters reporting "in and out" business, while others observed a modest line that took approximately 20 minutes to walk through. Here is a breakdown of how voters made their voices heard at area polls, in the various races from national to local, with 100 percent of the precincts reportings President/Vice-President Trump/Pence (R) - 41,810 - 63.25% Clinton/Kaine (D) - 20,667 - 31.27% Johnson/Weld (L) - 2,710 - 4.10% Write-In Votes - 913 -1.38% U.S. Senate Todd Young (R) - 39,234 - 59.45% Evan Bayh (D) - 23,348 - 35.38%

There is a red heart to represent the blood each soldier shed, a sour lemon to represent the fate of the fallen, and salt because its many grains honor the countless tears shed by family members. Among other features of the table are a candle to signify the Light of Hope ignited by the protection and bravery of our military men and women.
