Psst, not sure if you are aware but early voting started Wednesday for the upcoming city of Chattanooga elections.

And judging from the early numbers, most of you may be unaware.

First, let’s deal with some facts (Side note: Sadly, the folks who started the whole ‘Fake News’ nightmare have opened the floodgates for everything from outright lies to deniability. We have reached the point where anyone in power who does not like a story, no matter how well-sourced, reported and written, is trading the tired “no comment” for the trendy “fake news” allegation. This is not good).

Anyway, back to the facts.

Fact: More people locally voted in the November presidential election than in any county or city election.
