Williams said 29,500 ballots were cast in the county as of 9:40 this morning.

Regarding the timing of the results, Williams said the 417,000 votes from the advance voting, as well as ballots received through Monday, will be uploaded tonight at 8 p.m.

As for the rest of the locations, Williams said that barring long lines tonight, the memory cards with today’s votes should be back in the main center, where they “hope we’ll see the rest of the results come out before midnight.” “

“As soon as the memory cards arrive, we will begin uploading,” Williams said.
