As the day is nearing the end mid day voters have started to turn out at the Yoncoa Community Center. The late afternoon voters defiantly had a drag in them. Around this time more and more people were becoming unwilling to talk and trying to avoid contact. The wait time is still nonexistent with people coming out the polls around every 10 minutes.

“I just got off work. I am apprehensive for results said, Danny Morton.” Morton is a worker at the Wal-Mart in New Albany.

The people had lost the pep in their step that the morning voters once had. With the middle of the day upon everyone more people had just got off work and their mood was down. They wanted to get in and out without too much chatter. The townspeople whom once knew everybody and were willing to speak to one another with such excitement turned into just a wave or a passing nod for one another. Another thing that can be said about this town however is that throughout the day only a maximum of two voters were seen on their phones.

Around 3:28 p.m. there was no line at the voting center. One woman by the name of Lindsey was the first person to start off the afternoon. According to Lindsey, “I am a teacher and I wanted to beat the work rush. Wish I had better choices on campaign people.”

Bobby Clark is an account that was also out at the late afternoon voting. Clark said, “I got off of work a little late and I had to get my car serviced. Everything was perfect at the voting poll. I am a little nervous about the election but excited. I did not vote for Clinton I will tell you that.”

Jessica a student at Ole Miss voted at this precinct also. Jessica said,” I voted at this time because I just finished up my day at school. It’s a new world coming. We are going to have to look at it that some good will come out of this election. I did not think the election candidates were ready for the election, but with the senators and people already in office it will not be as bad.”

Monica is a daycare teacher for two-year-old students. She brought her son with her to the polls. “He wanted to come. He hears about it at school and on the bus so I think he wanted to see what it is about. I came at this time because I have kids and my husband, said Monica.”

Shane and Shelia McGiuney looked happy as ever as they walked out of the election polls. They may have been the two happiest people whom were seen around the 4 p.m. hour. “I had to wait on my wife to get off work or I would have came at any time. For the election results tonight it is a certain apprehension. I will still get up tomorrow and get dressed, said Shane.”

Another woman that was interviewed was a little surprised about what awaited her at the voter check in table. “I did not know I needed my ID. I had to come back to the car and get it, other than that it went smoothly. I came at this time because I have been up toward Memphis all day. I am anxious about the results of the election tonight, said Vicki Nardozzi.” Thankfully for Nardozzi there was no line when she came so when she forgot her ID she did not have to go back and wait in a line.

One man that did not want to comment on his name or occupation said a very interesting phrase that was the first heard though out the day. He said, “I just got off work. I want to see the election results but I do not think they are going to be in America’s favor.”

The sign workers were still out as well supporting their father and husband at the end of the road to see who will win Lafayette County Schools Board Member for District One.  Both Christy Larson and Molly Wray said, “we have no plans of leaving until 7 p.m.”
