We got a good Democrat in as head of elections and that is how we got voting centers approved. We also got early voting locations at a HBCU and a Muslim temple. The GOP is not happy about people being allowed to vote

I'm guessing it really pissed them off when they found out "... people being allowed to vote..." weren't the right color....

I was a clerk at an elementary school. Anyone could vote at any location in the county. We received about 15 out of 129 votes from out of precinct. Most were teachers who were employed at the school.
