Want to know where you can vote early? We’ve got a breakdown for every county in the NewsChannel9 viewing area here, complete with phone numbers.
The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan has some early voting anecdotes from Tennessee & Georgia:
Tennessee:
“I live in a very Republican county in Tennessee, just south of Nashville - voting started here on Wednesday. I went to vote today and there was a very long (well-behaved) line of people. The woman who checked my registration told me there are 120,000 registered voters in the county and as of yesterday (Thursday) 10,000 people had voted. She told me voting is way ahead of the 2004 General Election and they suspect 75% of registered voters will actually vote.”
Georgia:
“I stood in line in Cobb County, GA for just short of two hours on October 13th. The poll workers said the shortest line they’d had so far was 45 minutes and that was back in September (Early Voting started Sept. 19th).
This is gonna be one for the history books.”
Have you voted early?
What was the experience like?
I’d love to hear from you!
