Tennessee elections: Early voting in Knox County was highest in 10 years, setting a new record
Knoxville News Sentinel ^ | Oct. 18, 2018 | Tyler Whetstone

Knox County voters came out strong and, in some places, waited in long lines Wednesday that reminded Elections Administrator Cliff Rodgers of a presidential election. (My emphasis.)

It was the highest voting on the first day day [sic] of early voting in at least 10 years, which includes three presidential election cycles, and Knox County election officials believe it is a record first-day turnout.

I hope this bodes very well for Marsh Blackburn and the other Republicans. I have donated to her campaign.

I’ve also donated several times. If the campaign sends you email solicitations, look out for the ones offering 4X matching. Contributing to one of those REALLY HAS AN IMPACT.

I’m proud to be a Knox County resident, since my early vote is one that was counted.

Let’s hope it was Republican votes. Knoxville has a liberal section of citizens along with the usual liberal newspaper. Nearby Blount County has a liberal newspaper too even though the county is majority conservative.

Marsha’s staff needs to step up their ads on YouTube. She has a few, but Bredesen has constant ads...and you can’t skip Bredesen ads, YT won’t let you!

“look out for the ones offering 4X matching. Contributing to one of those REALLY HAS AN IMPACT.”

I did not know that for sure. I have used those a couple of times now. Thank You for the information.

And Knox County is where we fled to in search of a sanctuary city when we escaped SoCal.

Life is so amazing here.

I voted early about five miles west of Knox County on Monday. The line was VERY long.

I have a bad back that hates standing in line; hence, I voted by mail.

Looks like the same kind of turnout we had in 2016 when we skunked The Witch. I absolutely refuse to call that loathsome feminoid thing a “bitch” out of profound respect for my wonderful dogs’ late mothers.
