More than 1,000 early voters turn out Saturday

Saturday's early voter count was more than 40 percent of the total number of early voters for the entire primary.

In all, 1,174 voters cast ballots on Saturday, 759 of them at the CVIC Hall. That's a big chunk of the total 2,704 voters who cast ballots early in the primary.

The heavy turnout on Saturday indicates turnout for this election will be substantial.

Douglas County Clerk-Treasurer Ted Thran said Saturday there was a steady stream of voters through the day.

Early voters lined up outside the CVIC Hall most of the day on Saturday. Early voting continues today.
