If you voted early, you had company. The county election office says 190,000 people voted early, and KMBC counted 189,114 advance votes: 161,935 in person and 27,179 by mail.
FOX4 says the total is a record for a non-presidential election year. Election Commissioner Connie Schmidt said roughly 8,000 people voted between 8 a.m. and noon Monday, the most ever on the Monday before Election Day in the county.
