... and all is calm now. I reached out to the State Board of Elections and was informed that the events appear not to have impacted voting at the early voting location. The site there was calm, and the voters got in line and voted.

I have also reached out to the Alamance County Sheriff but have not yet connected. I will update when I learn more. 3/3

i believe 12 people were arrested; unless they were cited and released and allowed to vote, that's 12 people that didn't get to vote.

I wouldn't be surprised if it kept 100 people from voting early.
