live 530 election day

Lexington the biggest issue here has been the wait.

The county clerk tells me they didn't expect this high of a turnout..

So two additional check-in lines were added.

L3: election 2020 white in-person voting kroger field - lexington voters say they've waited anywhere from one to three hours.

After a record number of absentee ballots were requested....more than 92-thousand... the clerk's office told me yesterday it expected the crowd today, to be manageable.

County clerk don blevins says this is highest turnout in twenty years..

And that record was cemented..

Before in-person voting today.

Even with state and local officials recommending mail- in ballots..

Hundreds of voters here..chose not to.
