According to WBIR, more than 45,000 people (19% of registered voters) in Knox County voted early for the August 2, 2018, election. "Of all early votes cast, 32,108 were Republican and 13,298 were Democratic, according to the Knox County Election Commission."

"As of Friday, more than 570,000 people had voted in Tennessee early. Among registered voters, people age 50 and up represent the greatest amount -- almost 121,000, according to the Election Commission. "

Think Tennessee voters will turn out on Thursday to more than double these numbers?
