The Shelby County Election Commission says about 25,000 Memphians had voted by about 3:30 p.m. Add that to the 52,000 early voters, and you have a pre-rush hour turnout of about 76,000. As a reference point, total turnout for the 2015 city ballot -- election day and early voting -- was 102,000.
We hope you enjoyed the one debate in this election season that did come to pass -- the Behind The Headlines debate on the sales tax hike referendum that we posted further down in this stream.
