WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Primary "A Chore Getting Started"

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Primary "A Chore Getting Started": "A set of steps along Highway 90 in west Gulfport once took people to the main floor of the Charles Walker Senior Center. On past election days, the complex became a voting precinct. And then Katrina wiped it off election commission maps.

Frances Underwood was a fixture at the Walker center during previous elections.

'I've been over there for 20-something years, 22 years. So it's really odd,' she said.

Underwood's precinct moved from the waterfront to fire station number two on 42nd Avenue. She had no complaints about the new set up. Her problem was with the democrats turnout for its Senate race primary. Three poll workers could count the number of morning voters on one hand."
