Big turnout in Newtown

2:45: We have some early returns, and it appears Newtown Township is easily the home of the most heated race in the county.

Staff writer Jeff Wolfe visited several spots in the county and learned that Precinct 1 in Newtown had 235 voters as of 1:30.

Newtown is where there is a GOP fight between incumbent Republican Linda Houldin and GOP challenger Edward C. Partridge.

The turnout in Newtown dwarfs most other spots in the county.

In Springfield, Wlfe said the workers at the polling place at Springfield Fire Department on Saxer Avenue were looking for things to do. Only about 30 people had checked in as of 11 a.m.

It was the same story in Darby Borough, where they had clocked 30 voters by around 10:30 a.m.
