By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman

As the official Election Day came to Charles- ton and voters saw an end to an unconventional political season, many made their opinions not- ed by voting in areas around the community. Some precincts saw higher voter turnout throughout Election Day. Election Judge Wanda Pierce found that this was the case in precinct one. “It’s not very often we have this high of a vote,” she said. “There’s so much controversy (in the presidential race) — it makes a difference.” Election judge Andy Cerven of the 18th pre- cinct said out of 1,000 registered voters in that area, 270 had voted by noon. “Plus, we’ve had over 100 absentee ballots and early voting, so that’s a pretty good percent- age already,” Cerven said. He anticipated it getting busier still in the evening after people left work. By 12:20 p.m., the 15th precinct had about 64 people vote. Election Judge Jeri Hughes said this was a pretty good number for that early in the day. “We usually see 64 at four or five in the af- ternoon,” Hughes said. “This is a much better turnout; more students in the precinct are show- ing up.” A lot of this has to do with who is running and what they are running for, Hughes said.

Bye weeks in football are usually much needed, and they are al- ways a good time for a team to rest up for the remainder of the season. But for the Eastern football team, it could not come at a worse time. The Panthers suffered one of their toughest losses of the season this past weekend, but the worst part about it is having to sit on it through the bye. There is no chance for a quick turnaround, as all they can do is get some extra time to prepare for the final game of the season. Eastern’s playoff hopes disappeared after the 33-17 loss to Ten- nessee-Martin, so all that is left is to send the seniors out with a win. While the bye week is not coming at the best time for the Pan- thers, it could also be a positive. The root of Eastern’s struggles have come on defense and with the health of the quarterback position. The defense began the year with some solid performances, but it has slowly broken down as it has been left on the field too long in critical matchups. Part of that is connected to the offensive struggles. The offensive struggles come from starting quarterback Mitch Kimble’s inability to stay healthy throughout the season.

Omaha is the No. 1 seed for the first time in school history, while Eastern is making its first appearance in the Summit League tournament since 1994 and seeking its first ever postseason win. Western Illinois made the postseason for the fourth time in the past five years, and it is its seventh time in the postseason as the No. 3 seed. Meanwhile, Denver just captured its fourth- straight regular season conference title as co- champions with Omaha. Here is an outlook on how each team got to the tournament.

Omaha The Mavericks come in as the top seed in the tournament after winning out the tiebreak- er over Denver by goal differential in league play. Omaha finished with a +8 thanks to its 3-1 win over Oral Roberts in the season finale, while Denver finished with a +7 goal differen- tial. The Mavericks finished with an overall re- cord of 9-4-4 and 5-0-1 in The Summit League with the tie coming against Denver.
