Friday is last day to early vote

That reflects a 41 percent turnout of the registered voters in those counties.

The previous record of 111,000 early voters has already been busted and another 10,000 voters were expected to vote Friday.

Polls will open at 6 a.m. and be open until 7 p.m. and the poling location for Douglas is the Visitor’s Center on 16th Street.

“Do you switch the track and save five people or do you do nothing and so voting for either candidate can either be morally wrong or morally right but doing nothing is amoral and thus I wouldn’t have such a bad conscience about what happens”, Habit said.

“I think it was hugely successful”, said Dion Irish, commissioner of the Election Department. There is contradictory information out there about how to handle Election Day that needs to be corrected. Perhaps, given the twists and turns of the 2016 presidential election, the option to alter a vote matches the shifting poll ratings of both candidates. These two counties also have high profile state Senate races.

And the average age of those early voters was 57 according the Christie Latham, Tax Assessor-Collector and Elections Administrator for Stephens County. More rushed in on Friday.

According to data from the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections office, the number of early voters more than doubled this year compared to the 2012 General Election. Voters can track their vote-by-mail ballot to see when the Supervisor of Elections office receives the voted ballot. “The early voting results will be ready at seven, but after that, it may be awhile”.

Polls open before dawn on Tuesday, Nov. 8, and it will be Wednesday on the East Coast before the last votes are cast.

Early voting continues Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m.to 2 p.m.

The high turnout trend was seen in Bastrop and Hays counties as well. The Associated Press estimated that up to 40 percent of all votes nationally will be cast in advance of Election Day. The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is at 2925 Euclid Ave. Most voters, like Karen Reece of St. Paul’s Como Park neighborhood said they were just trying to avoid long lines on Tuesday.

“Everybody bragged about it, and nobody got stuck in an old elevator this year”, she said.

A handful of states allow voters to recast early and/or absentee ballots but Texas is not one of those states. It’s the first time [for early voting], so I think that’s part of the excitement, plus being able to schedule voting on their own terms. That’s 51.2 percent of the county’s 468,694 registered voters as of Friday.

To vote in this year’s presidential election November 8, you were required to have registered to vote by October 11.

While it would be hard to accomplish, McDonald said he still sees a path to victory for Trump as the election nears.
