BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT

The process was actually too easy because no one was there besides myself to vote so it was easier than I expected

Jamie Hodges is a Tallahassee neighbor of five years.

He was one of just a few people who voted early in this years presidential preference primary.

One Leon County election worker told me because theres only one race thats on the ballot the Republican primary- low turnout was expected

It was so low that I waited outside this polling location at the Courthouse for interviews, but I was told there were just four voters from 8 in the morning through 12 noonand I had missed them.

I asked Hodges what he hopes for the General Election in November

Definitely greater turnout every election we need good turnout

I took a look at the numbers In 2020 during the last presidential primary.

Early voter turnout in Leon County was a total of 20,744 votes according to the Florida Decisions of Elections

That turnout is not expected this yearby election experts final numbers on early voting will come later after a certification process.

Early voting in Florida ended Sunday but many are looking ahead to November.

I asked one other Tallahassee neighbor if the low turnout makes him concerned for the general election.

I think the main part of it is people dont really know the issues…, they dont really know whats going on

Kyle Smith, is new to the State of Florida hasnt voted yet but plans to register to vote.

This is a big election year; I should probably register. I want to do my part; have my voice be heard you know what I mean?

With everything winding down in the early voting period neighbors like Hodges tell me what he think community members should do come November

Come on out and vote because its not a difficult process at all
