According to Pottawatomie County election official Nancy McCarter, turnouts in Pottawatomie County have been large throughout the early hours of voting.
As of 9:45 a.m. approximately 2,100 votes have already been cast across all polling locations in the county.
This comes in addition to a record number of advance voters. As of Friday, McCarter reported 1,946 advanced or walk-in ballots cast in Pottawatomie County, a number that likely grew larger before election day.
That number is nearly three times the amount of advance ballots cast before the 2012 election.
