LAWTON, Okla_There was a
long line at the Comanche County Courthouse, as voters came out early to cast
their ballots. Friday's line was even longer, it snaked out of the election
board office, into the hallway and outside the building. Voting has been heavy
in Stephens County
as well as Jackson
County.
The state has
just over 2 million registered voters. If you didn't get a chance to show up
for early voting. You still can cast your ballot Tuesday in the general
election.
There are also six
state questions, and their topics range from a ban on affirmative action to a
change in taxes. Each question is
numbered, but the wording on the ballot can be a little confusing, so we wanted
to know what voters out voting were doing to help them clear things up.
One voter said
he and his wife have reviewed them all. He even pulled a list from his pocket
and showed which ones will get a yes or no from them.
"We know
what we want to vote and wrote it all down, so we would know what we were going
to do when we came, we're ready."
Another voter
said he'd taken a good look at the list before he came to vote, but some of the
topics left him shaking his head.
"They have
some of them on there good and some of them I think that don't even make any
sense."
Another voter
said he's still undecided on the majority of questions, but know two will
definitely have his support.
"They're
both favorable to education and both things that we think needs to be done."
Monday was the
last day of early voting at the courthouse. Tuesday, you'll have to go to your
local precinct between 7 a.m. and 7p.m.
