The terre haute resident has voted in every election since 19-68.

He was one of many across vigo county who voted on day one of early voting.

Mix...a veteran....says the voting process was incredibly smooth..... and has this message for vigo county residents.

"every vote is important.

No one has absolutely no excuse to not vote.

They got bus services.

They got free rides.

No excuse."

Mix says traditionally... from his point of view.... voting turnouts in vigo county haven't been that successful.

But he says this year's election is incredibly important.

He told me no matter who you vote for...it's just important that you make your voice be heard.... and he shared with me why he's so passionate about casting his ballot.

"i care about the country.

I will take care of my own and i always vote for what's best for the country...maybe not for me...but what i think is best for the country."
