Yesterday was a big day. Someone in California won the Powerball, we had a full moon, a total eclipse, and voting is over. The above photo was taken at the Lewis Recreation Center near the intersection of Pisgah Church Road with Battleground Avenue. The Lewis Center is one of Greensboro's ten recreation centers and it is used for multiple purposes and by people of all ages. This was an early voting site, which is one of the reasons we're guessing that voting seemed light there. When we were there before 8:00 a.m. this morning, people were trickling in one at a time.
According to the North Carolina State Board of Education, in Guilford County, 28.74% of registered voters voted early. Received by mail were 7,577 ballots and 101,202 people voted early. Let's hope the 71.26% of the people who didn't vote early voted yesterday. Hopefully, all of the polls were orderly and voting went smoothly. Soon, the results will be confirmed and all of the signs and political ads will go away. Those of you who ran for office, campaigned, canvassed, and worked the polls, thank you for your service!
Next up, Thanksgiving and possibly some cooler weather.
Happy Wednesday!
My last vote for a municipal election a couple of weeks back was in a community rec center not unlike this.
