1st weekend early vote totals way up at Cornelius Town Hall

With enthusiasm high and competitive races in both Cornelius and Davidson, the first weekend of early voting at Cornelius Town Hall saw vote totals way up when compared to recent cycles.

Through Sunday 519 ballots had been cast at Cornelius Town Hall.  That compares to a paltry 106 in 2015 and 118 in 2013 for the first weekend of early voting.

Another way to look at these totals shows much higher enthusiasm at the Cornelius site this cycle when compared to the rest of the county and previous cycles.  So far Cornelius Town Hall is the 2nd most popular site out of 17 sites.  In 2015 it was the 7th most popular site out of 17 sites.  In 2013 it was 9th out of 15 sites.

At this point the data on the BOE website doesn't allow for a breakdown of the numbers between Cornelius and Davidson, but this is very likely a good sign for turnout in both towns if this trend holds.
