Thousands of Delawareans brave long lines to vote early across the state
Turnout has been heaviest in Sussex County, where more than 30,300 votes have been cast. Voters have cast 16,965 ballots in New Castle County and 9,700 in Kent County.
Saine-Dukuray said she believes it’s important to vote. She said she cares about immigration because she came here from Gambia in 1988 as a student. She said while her children are grown, she’s concerned about the education her grandkids are getting.
“If you vote for the people that you want, at least they know what you’re looking for and what you want them to bring into your own community,” she said. “I mean, education is number one to everything.”
Hartsky-Carter said despite the lines, voting has been going smoothly.
“It’s been great. We haven’t had any significant issues with voters,” she said. “They have been very respectful and our election officers are handling the voting volume very well.”
Delawareans can vote early at these locations between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. through Tuesday. The hours extend from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. starting Wednesday and running through Nov. 3. Election Day is Nov. 5.
