Tuesday decides it
Lines expected at polls
W 110716 VOTING PREP
Poll manager Felix DeLoach, center, and assistants Ray Durden, left, and Donna Brigman prepare Monday for Election Day at the William James Educational Complex. According to DeLoach, more than 43 percent of voters in the Statesboro Precinct participated in early voting.
With voters deciding on a president of the United States, a sheriff for Bulloch County, a seat in the U.S. Senate, a seat in the House, four amendments to the state Constitution and in specific districts a state representative and two county commissioners, Tuesday promises to be a busy one at the polls. All 16 of Bulloch County's traditional, precinct voting places will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Although nearly 39 percent of the county's active registered voters voted early or absentee, Election Supervisor Patricia Lanier Jones expects lines to form. "There's going to be a line because the ballot is longer than what it was in March," Jones said, referring to the March presidential preference primary.
