For the first time since February of 2008 when he won his first election after being appointed by the county commission the year before, someone besides Jimmy Harris will win an election for Madison County Mayor on Tuesday.
The rain stopped, clouds parted and made way for sunshine to bring a nice spring day to the area, perfect for election candidates to be outside the Madison County Election Commission greeting voters as they entered the premises to cast their ballot.
Questions regarding the ability of voters to vote in primary elections were a frequent topic of conversation among candidates and local party officials on Wednesday, the first day of early voting at the Madison County Election Commission.
Wendy Trice-Martin became a member of the commission last year as a representative of the county’s Democratic Party and has brought up the idea of extending early voting hours in past meetings and brought it up again in this meeting with a new proposal of doing it.
