Very interesting that so many of our County Citizens are choosing to do Early Voting.
Thanks to the SOE office and staff for their diligence in providing many opportunities for us to cast our vote in this Primary.
I felt a bit of personal pride in being asked for, and producing, my Photo Identification at the polling place.
I am a strong believer that anyone voting should have no problem with ID.
Thank you for keeping us informed on the numbers of voters so far, 5 more days.
Great Appreciation to our women and men in the US Military who help preserve this unique right. God Bless the USA.
