Romney Routs Contenders in Swampscott
The voter turnout was light in Tuesday's Presidential Primary — about 16 percent.
Around noon the only people inside the Congregational Church were the poll workers at Precincts 3 and 4.
Voters filtered in and out but the turnout, up until that point, was light, said Precinct 4 Warden Theresa Grasso.

A few minutes later Bob Kahn came in to vote. He said he is an Independent in state elections, a Democrat in federal contests, and came out to vote against the front-runner, Mitt Romney.
A vast majority of the voters, however, supported Romney in Swampscott. He received better than eight times the votes of his nearest competitor.

As far as the turnout went, about 16 percent of the 10,107 registered voters in town voted, said Town Clerk Susan Duplin, who provided these unofficial results.
