The early vote was big. Potter County had 18,241 early voters and Randall County had 39,779, which is over 15,000 more early voters across the two counties than in the 2022 midterm.

If you're driving this week, give yourself extra time. Both directions of I-40 at Nelson Street will be down to two lanes for bridge maintenance, and the work is expected to finish in early 2027.
