Election day arrives
State elections officials project voter turnout will be lighter than usual in a sweeping statewide primary election to be held Saturday.
Secretary of State spokesman Sailor Jackson said turnout is not expected to top 40 percent statewide, despite races for governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state.
