All we know right now is that the turnout in the Southern part of the state is much lower than expected, while the turnout in the Northern, more rural, part of the state is somewhat higher than expected. Historically, this doesn't bode well for Question 1.
It could also mean, however, that there are higher populations of unemployed or elderly people in the Northern part of the state, who have more leisure during the daytime part of the day, and that people in Southern Maine, who tend to be younger and employed, will wait and vote after work.

In other words, its too soon to tell.
