Thousands of Hoosiers cast their vote early at satellite sites

INDIANA — Election Day is in less than ten days.

Early voting has been underway for weeks here in the Hoosier State, but for some counties, it was their first day of satellite voting.

Many braved the long lines and took advantage of the convenience of early voting.

“I like to see people voting and doing their civic duty. It’s important, especially in this election, it’s important that your voice is heard,” said Andrea Smith, who voted Saturday.

“She’s [her daughter] a college student at Purdue so we wanted to make sure she got her vote in,” added Sarita Crabtree.

She took her daughter, Asia, to vote for the first time on Saturday, the first day satellite sites opened in Marion County.

“I just came home on the weekend, drove about two minutes from my house and now I’m standing in this long line, but I’m standing very excitedly,” said Asia who goes to Purdue University.

Lines wrapped around the corner at some of the eight sites in Marion County, with Hoosiers waiting hours.
