Did you remember to change your clock/watch? Fall back to regular time.
One stop voting is over and 9,632, or 42% of the 23,036 eligible voters in Bladen County have cast their ballot. In the last presidential contest, 4 years ago, overall, 69% of those eligible voted. another 6,325 will need to vote on Tuesday to match that number. Polls open at all 17 voting locations in the county at 6:30 AM and will close at 7:30. Hopefully, we will know who the winners in Bladen County and North Carolina, before we go to bed. The choice for president may not be known ’til later as polls close from east to west across the USA.
