The record
Early voting's last two days: 4,213 on Thursday, 7,080 on Friday
The county posted both remaining rosters. Friday's 7,080 names top the opening Monday's 5,943, the previous high, and Thursday's 4,213 was up from 3,910 on Wednesday. Across all 12 lists, no voter ID appears twice, for 57,105 in-person early voters. The rosters do not show which site a voter used, and they leave out mail ballots, which the county lists separately.
