Posted on: November 8th, 2016 by anneely

Harris was the eleventh person to cast her ballot Tuesday at Oxford One, at 7:07 a.m., 22 minutes after she arrived to find the doors closed and election workers inside setting up tables and chairs.

A 47-year-old Oxford native, dressed in her work scrubs, Harris was on her phone while waiting to cast her vote.

“I am here early to vote, I work at Millcreek of Batesville,” Harris said.

Laughing nervously Harris gave her opinion on the election so far.

“It’s very controversial. It is the most controversial election that I have voted in, but at the end of the day a choice has to be made,” Harris said.

Harris is very involved in voting and she keeps up to date in all local elections. She takes pride in voting.

“I vote in all elections and am up to date in politics,” Harris said.

Harris was smiling when said she had just recently decided on who she was voting for but did not want to tell whom she was voting for.

Walking forward in line Harris quickly checked her phone again before giving her opinion on the social media in the election.

“Um…I would say social media played a huge part in this election, but it didn’t play a major part in my decision,” Harris said.

Harris looked around a little bit before answering on what the record turnout of registered voters means to her.

“I just think everyone needs to get out and exercise their right,” Harris said.

At 7:13 Harris exited the building and walked just as it started to sprinkle.
