CONWAY — In a record midterm turnout election that saw voters waiting for up to an hour to vote at the Conway Town Garage, the unofficial results showed a Blue Wave, with Democrats winning most of the races, but Republicans also scoring some wins.Â
When the polls closed at 7 p.m., it was revealed to be a record midterm election turnout at over 4,200 voters. In 2018 (the "Blue Wave" that propelled many Democratic candidates into the Statehouse), the big turnout also news: 4,064. It was easily eclipsed by this year's showing.
