As the line snaked around the Herbert C. Young Community Center in Cary Monday afternoon, voters such as Dana Hall were not deterred by the long wait times.
“I went online to the Wake tracker and we actually in Cary have the longest wait. But since I just retired, I thought, ‘OK, it’s a beautiful day.’ I thought I would come down here and just stand in line and vote,” said Hall.
Through four days, it’s the fourth busiest site in Wake County.
“First time I’ve seen a line when I’ve come the early vote. So I was surprised,” noted voter Bob Pilz.

Fellow voter John McKinley added, “I’m happy with the number of people that showed. I think people are very excited about this particular election.”
All three voters noted a level of contact from campaigns hoping to win their support.
“I would say every third commercial on TV is about this political campaign. I’m getting texts all the time, typically from the Republican Party asking me how I’m going to vote come the fall. So it’s been unique this year,” said McKinley.
