Turnout reports from Center City, Delco

PA Primary Team reports:

Lines were short in Delco in late morning/early afternoon, reports the Daily News' roving reporter there. But the poll workers at the Delaware County Voting Machine Storage facility in Chester (yes, it's a polling place too) said the big problem has been independents showing up to vote and being turned away.

Meanwhile, in Center City, turnout continues to be strong. By 11:30 a.m., the 8th division in the 5th ward had already seen 250 votes.

Hi - I'm wondering whether people are clear that, in order to vote for president, they need to both check off their presidential candidate AND choose the delagates. In my polling place (22d & Market - Chaka Fattah's district) the president and delegates were some distance apart with other offices like state treasurer in between. I'd hate to see people walk in, choose their presidential candidate, and walk out again without going farther (and I'm curious whether a presidential choice with no delegates would even "count".)
