…….Early voting is but an infant in our long West Virginia history of elections. The first election was in 1863 and elections were held every year. That would be changed to every two years when we established a legislature with two-year terms. The first early voting took place in 2002 when the legislature amended the election law to allow it. Voters were skeptical at first. Only 4.3% of voters took advantage. How that has changed. Barb Ross of the election office told me 15 voters had already cast their votes in the first 45 minutes of the first day of early voting.
