A few miles away, State Rep. Monroe Nichols cast his vote at the Centennial Center Auditorium. He walked from his house to the polling station. 2 The news caught up with him after he cast his vote.

Nichols told us he feels good about heading into Election Day, but is more grateful for his experiences on the campaign trail.

Both Keith and Monroe would like to thank everyone who fulfilled their civic duty.

“Boy, those long lines don’t make you feel good about democracy and coming out to make their voices heard,” Keith said.

“For a state with such low voter turnout, I’m very happy with all the early voting numbers, but there’s nothing like showing up on Election Day and voting,” Monroe said.

As a reminder, polling stations close at 7pm on Tuesday evening. If you are in line before 7 p.m., you can vote. Make sure you have the correct polling station and ID.
