For months, poll watchers knew that not as many voters would be coming out as did in 2008. Then came Sandy. Reports say turnout for a presidential election in New Jersey was at an all time low of 60 percent of registered voters. The previous low was 70 percent in 2000. "The state government there made a wonderful effort to allow email voting and in fact other kinds of voting but you cannot make up for a huge natural disaster," said David Adamany, a professor at Temple’s Beasley School of Law.
