Hoboken is running about 20% higher turnout than elsewhere, according to midday turnout numbers.

The totals so far:

Ward 1: 1170

Ward 2: 1626

Ward 3: 1482

Ward 4: 1265

Ward 5: 1491

Ward 6: 1253

That's 8,287 total, compared to 6,487 in 2013.

At midday, a Hoboken source said he expected a 14K total election, but rain threatened his projection.

Sources in Middlesex said Edison - scene of a local mayor's race - is also spiking hard. And in Jersey City, where Mayor Steven Fulop is running for reelection, turnout is also strong.
