Over 1,000 voters cast their ballot Saturday at the Kempsville Area Library
With just one week left in the early voting window, it was a crowded scene at the Kempsville Area Library in Virginia Beach, full of voters waiting to cast their ballot. From the moment officials opened for business this morning, they tell us there was a line wrapped around the building.
"We opened up at 9. This line has been like this since 8:00 this morning," said Virginia Beach Registrar Satellite Chief Mike Ware.
Ware told us this location hit their biggest early vote turnout this week, and they're seeing at least a thousand people casting their vote a day. Polling officials at the Kempsville Area Library are expecting an even busier day next week.
"We're at about 1,300 people that we've pushed through today. I figure we may hit 1,000 every day during the week. If we hit 1,500 to 1,600 today, we'll clear that next Saturday."
