Early Voting
With one week to go before the May primary I’ve been taking a look at some of the early voting. As of Monday afternoon just under 2600 people voted early, either in person or mail (1772) the rest have submitted an application to vote by mail, traveling board or fax/email but have not yet returned a ballot. .
More than 1070 voters have gone Republican ballot and more than 1400 went Democratic and 88 chose Perry and Franklin township school referendums. Here’s a breakdown of where the vote have come from by township and party.
- Center – 342 votes; 65 Rs, 277 Ds.
- Decatur – 36 votes; 19 Rs, 17 Ds .
- Franklin – 324 votes; 208 Rs, 80 Ds, 36 Other.
- Lawrence – 255 votes; 135 Rs, 120 Ds.
- Perry – 389 votes; 210 Rs, 127 Ds, 52 Other.
- Pike – 247 votes; 76 Rs, 171 Ds.
- Warren – 180 votes; 69 Rs, 111 Ds.
- Washington – 487 votes; 168 Rs, 319 Ds.
- Wayne – 327 votes; 126 Rs; 201 Ds.
Draw your own conclusions on what the numbers might mean. Early voting continues through Monday, May 2. You can vote from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this coming Saturday and Sunday. And you can vote Monday, May 2, from 8 a.m. to noon. The primary is May 3.
