It's getting late to vote early

Posted October 29, 2008 11:00 pm

With one day left of early voting, state election board director Dan White estimated Wednesday that more than 700,000 ballots had already been cast, shattering the previous record of about 220,000. Early voting ends today. Election officials warn voters to be prepared for long lines, but they still encourage people to cast their ballots to avoid an even longer wait on Election Day, Tuesday.
