It’s Election Day in our nation.
For all the hoopla, for all the television and radio and print pundits telling you that so much is at stake this year (this page included), it would seem fewer of you in this Southeast Tennessee region are voting even than in 2010 — the last midterm election.
Early voting totals for Hamilton County were up by about 210 ballots, and Grundy County had 127 more early voters than in 2010, but largely other surrounding counties here were down — some way down, like Franklin County with 2,010 fewer early voters.
