125. I don't believe any other
elections were taking place that day anywhere in the country. But LOTS of events were postponed or canceled that day and that entire week. My kids' school nearly canceled the yearly carnival scheduled for Friday, but fortunately those who realized it would be totally stupid and unnecessary to cancel that event prevailed.

Think of how many people all across the country got their kids home from school early that day. And that was on September 11th itself. Since then the fear factor has been ratcheted up considerably. It would not take much to terrify a lot of people so that they'd be afraid to go out and vote on November 2nd.
