More than 50 people lined up to cast their ballots by 5:30 a.m. Tuesday at Living Hope Baptist Church.
When the polls opened at 6 a.m., Warren County voters flooded in to select a presidential candidate, weigh in on state bills and choose local representatives.
After voting, several expressed their experiences and opinions to Herald reporters. This is what they had to say.
Andrea Duarte stands outside the polling location at Living Hope Baptist Church after voting on Election Day 2024. โPolitical tension has increased a lot,โ Duarte said. โThe way that the parties donโt care to express their emotion has [been an issue]. Theyโre just open about how they donโt like a certain race.โ (Adin Parks )
Andrew Wilson, 57, stands outside the Living Hope Baptist Church polling location after voting on Election Day 2024. โWhoeverโs elected today is going to be my president,โ Wilson said. โYou have to pray for them and support them.โ (Adin Parks )
Kelly Price stands outside Living Hope Baptist Church with her daughter, Olivia, after casting her vote for the presidential and the local candidates on Election Day, 2024. โNow that Iโm a mom, I think itโs even more important to bring her (baby daughter) and expose her to this,โ Price said. โShe may not understand it right now but eventually she will. I think itโs so important to vote for the candidate that will support her as she continues to grow.โ (Adin Parks )
Gary Gunn, 76, stands outside the Living Hope Baptist Church polling location after voting on Election Day 2024. โWe are a debt country, and we are going further in debt by giving everything to these people who are coming,โ Gunn said. โI donโt mind them coming, but theyโre not coming to work. Theyโre coming because itโs a handout. We gotta stop the handout.โ (Adin Parks )
Tiffany Triplett, 51, stands outside the Living Hope Baptist Church polling location after casting her vote on Election Day 2024. โI often wish they were different but itโs how our system works and we donโt have a choice about that,โ Triplett said. โSometimes I wish independents had a little more opportunity than the Democrat and Republican parties because sometimes they have better policies with our environment and other things.โ (Adin Parks )
