I’ve been inundated with calls and e-mails asking what’s happening in
Early voting results were still being processed this afternoon. It’s not clear how soon we’ll have those numbers.
Voting from polling sites will roll in throughout the night.
As for the absentee ballots, 3,844 who had requested them hadn’t voted as of this morning. County spokesman Jess Williams said another 596 absentee ballots were hand-delivered to the clerk’s office today. He also said nearly every precinct reported today that people who requested but hadn’t received absentee ballots were showing up to vote in person. Absentee ballots could also be delivered to voters’ polling places.
“Those numbers are going to go down,” Williams said of the 3,844 who hadn’t yet voted.
I’ll be pushing for good information on how many people who requested absentee ballots end up not voting today, but I don’t expect a final number for quite awhile.
The polls are now closed. Stick around for election results.
