November 3, 1998 "We would talk about elections and who was running when we were having dinner or whenever we were together. He didn't think much of Franklin D. Roosevelt," Rob Smout said. "I don't think anything of the Democrats," Smout added. Elna Lucas, one of the Pioneer school poll workers, said the older voters tend to be dedicated. "A few years ago, we had a voter who first registered in 1912. They brought him in from the rest home. He voted until he died," Lucas said. Still, this election seems to be attracting a fair number of dedicated voters from all age groups. They were lined up outside the door before the polls opened at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m., said LaRae Brown, who works with Lucas. "They were all the way down the hall until about 8. We have a good turnout here," Brown said. Early voters tend to be the ones who have to get to work or who are older and rise early, poll workers said. About half a dozen voters stood in the frosty air for about half an hour outside Ogden's Taylor Elementary School, waiting fort the poll to open at 7 a.m., said Ida Urunguren, one of the workers. Elections officials have said they expect about a 50 to 55 percent turnout along the Wasatch Front this year. In 70 years of voting, Smout has won a few and lost a few. He can't recall exactly which are which. The winning doesn't matter as much as showing up. 179
