The county has already seen 46,000 absentee voters for the November election, compared to only 20,000 in 2016.
LEXINGTON, S.C. — The Lexington County Registration and Elections Office has seen a record number of absentee voters for the November 2020 election.
Many people are choosing to vote absentee this year, including voting by mail and in-person. Lexington County has seen a significant amount of absentee voters.
"It's really busy, everyday gets busier and busier," said Mary Brack, the Director of the Lexington Registration and Elections for Lexington County. "But the line is moving very quickly."
On Wednesday, the line wrapped around the building in Lexington. According to the county, this was in part because of social distancing guidelines, but also because of the number of voters.
Most people waited an hour or more to cast their ballots.
"Usually this is like what you would see the couple of days before the election with all the absentee voting, but never this soon," explained Brack. "We've got another two weeks to do. But we're moving people in. I'm glad people are coming out to vote."

Voters would rather wait an hour or so to vote early rather than risk standing in line for 12 hours on Nov. 3. and have the commies close the doors at 8:00 pm.
That’s what I’m thinking too. My area offers three days of early voting. I’ll check out the situation on day 1 or day 2 or day 3. I hate lines, but I hate absentee voting more (signature matching too subjective).
My daughter just went to the Cookout right by there at 6:30. Said the parking lot was still packed full.
In Charleston, it took 45 minutes to vote. The line was long, but it moved pretty quickly.
