LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 News Now) – Thursday marked the first day of Kentucky’s “no excuse” in-person early voting, and turnout has been strong across Fayette County.  Voters formed long lines before doors even opened, with some locations like the Tate’s Creek Public Library seeing lines stretch down the street. “I waited 2 hours … I will not miss this vote, more so than most other votes that I’ve done,” said Annetta Cornett, an early voter. Voters braved the wait, with many telling ABC 36 that casting their ballot is worth the time spent in line. Those who voted today shared their choices, including picks for U.S. president and their stance on Amendment 2. “I was talking with people on the way out, and it seems just from what I gathered, a lot of folks seem to be leaning towards change, and the current administration and those associated with it are maybe on their way out,” said Josh Ochoa, an early voter. “Last time I voted for Trump this time I voted for Kamala, I just felt like we needed a breath of fresh air,” said Jack Eaves, an early voter. “I voted for Harris .. I’ve never missed a voting time, so I just thought there was a lot out there this year that needed to be voted for,” said Linda Eaves, an early voter. “I voted no [Amendment 2], I used to be a teacher,” said Sandra Karjewski, an early voter. “I don’t want money taken from the public schools to fund private,” said Cornett. “Well school choice is important, I have children and I think it would be really good to go and give them the opportunity to make sure that they can… families can choose and decided where those funds to go,” said Ochoa. Early voting hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day through Saturday. Voters in Fayette County can cast their ballots at any public library location. Officials remind everyone to bring a valid ID.
