Watauga Early Voting Numbers

These are from yesterday, so they're moving up even as we type:

● about 14,500 Watauga citizens have voted so far at the county’s five Early Voting stations, with three days yet to go, as compared to roughly 10,000 for all of Early Voting in the 2004 Presidential election.

● some 5,311 had voted at the Appalachian State University student union Early Voting station.

● it is still conceivable that 20,000 Wataugans will have voted early by the close of Early Voting this Saturday at 1 p.m.

● breakdown by party affiliation of those 14,500

Democrats 5,600
Republicans 4,600
Unaffiliated 4,300
