Derek Lyall, elections director for Washington County, Virginia, said nearly 22% of registered voters there had already voted, and early voting "will really lessen lines." Across the line in Tennessee, Veronica Nuckols of the Washington County Election Office said to "go to the source of elections" for precinct and sample ballot information, since social media talk "can spread like wildfire." If you want in and out fast, we suggest going midday.
