1st Day of Early Voting

 

Huge turnout on the first day of early voting Thursday! More than 201,000 voters cast ballots statewide, up 47% from the same day in 2022. 

In Watauga, Democrats and Unaffiliateds tied on first-day turnout, 42% apiece. Republicans showed up as 15%, down almost 13 points over first-day EV 2022. Dead man walking.

This was the scene in Greensboro Thursday, as students from North Carolina A&T marched from campus to vote downtown. They marched an hour. Because the local elections board decided to remove their polling place from campus.
