Early voting is now underway in Delaware, and it seems people are eager to take advantage of the convenient option.
Long lines formed outside of polling locations in the First State on Friday, with some people waiting hours to cast their ballot.
“It was very organized, but it did take two and a half hours before we actually got to vote,” said Holly Douglas of Claymont, Delaware.
“I knew I was in trouble when I pulled around this corner and saw the line. It was already behind the building at that point,” said Mark Christian of Christiana, Delaware.
Action News was at the Hudson State Service Center in Newark as the doors opened.
Our camera captured images of hundreds of people waiting and the line snaking through the parking lot.
But that wasn’t enough to dissuade those determined to vote on this first day of early voting.
“I take pride in voting, period. My grandmother back in the day had to do poll tax and had to take a test, so I take it as an honor and privilege to just walk up and cast my vote,” said Caroline Chambliss, of Wilmington.
