    CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – A record 353,166 voters hit the polls Thursday setting a state record for turnout on Day One of early voting, state election officials announced on Friday.

    “Yesterday’s turnout is a clear sign that voters are energized about this election, that they trust the elections process, and that a hurricane will not stop North Carolinians from exercising their right to vote,” said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board of Elections.
