MS-SEN: Record absentee votes cast in runoff election
MADISON COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - In Madison County, voting machines are getting warmed up for next weeks run-off election.
Early absentee ballots being cast are a sign of big interest in the senate race and other contests, and over 700 absentee ballots have been cast in Madison County already.
“For a mid-term runoff election this is unbelievable,” said Madison County Circuit Clerk Anita Wray.
Wray said her office has had a constant stream of people voting early. She anticipates a record total when it comes to absentee ballots cast.
“Probably 13-1,400, because Saturday alone we voted about 150 people and the phones have been ringing off the wall with people steadily," she said. "We have not had a break with people lined up at the doors,” said Wray.
