Thousands turn out in Fairfax Co. for first day of early voting in Va.
The strong turnout seen in Virginia Friday for the state’s first day of early voting in the presidential election isn’t something you see every election cycle.
“It’s not normal at all,” said Fairfax County general registrar and director of elections Eric Spicer. “We’re in record-breaking territory.”
Lines were long at early voting locations, including at the Fairfax County Government Center where hundreds stretched from the front door to the parking lot.
“I think it’s amazing,” said voter Christina Hunnicutt. “People are anxious to do this and do their duty.”
“It just shows the enthusiasm that people have in this election,” said Loren Southard, another voter in line. “A lot of people are really tuned in and want to make their voice heard.”
