Early voting begins across Oklahoma amid record turnout

(AP) Early in-person voting is underway across Oklahoma for an election that has already seen record turnout throughout the U.S. Polls opened Thursday at county election board offices in all 77 counties. Oklahoma County Election Board Secretary Doug Sanderson said voters were lined up an hour before the polls opened in Oklahoma City despite the rain and chilly temperatures. Oklahoma County was operating on backup power after an ice storm knocked out electricity to more than 350,000 homes and businesses. Besides the president, Oklahoma voters are casting ballots for a U.S. Senate race, five U.S. House seats and two state questions. In-person voting continues Friday and Saturday.
