Early Voters Turn Out in Large Numbers in Lucas County
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
The initial reports for
the first week of early voting in Ohio, and in Lucas County,
showed that the numbers were not matching up to comparable
periods in 2008 and 2012. However, the lines during the last
week of the early voting period, particularly the last
weekend, seemed to contradict those reports.
On the last Sunday, voters
waited in line for as long as 90 minutes to exercise their
right to cast a ballot. And even if one showed up before the
doors opened, it wasn’t early enough. A half hour before the
doors opened on Sunday at 1 p.m., the lines were wrapped
around the block.
