Early voting opened with a bang Monday.
1270 early voters countywide Monday, here are totals by location:
- Ramshead on campus 605
- Carrboro Town Hall 226
- Seymour Center 243
- BOE office in Hillsborough 168
- Mt Zion (Cedar Grove) 28
Subject to expected State approval, the Orange County Board of Elections has published the locations and dates/hours for early voting for the May 8 primary.
OC Elections Board chair Jim White just called me to ask my thoughts on an early voting location on campus. In fact the location that he and Matt Hughes had been kicking around turns out to be the one that I would have suggested. We talked about some logistical issues and hours (they are leaning towards 11 am to 7 pm there). The Board of Elections met at Rams Head this afternoon !
I attended last night's Chapel Hill Town Council meeting, my first since 1983. Mayor Mark K was kind enought to recognize the former council members in attendance -- me, Mark Chilton, Joe Capowski (and by the end of the meeting, Sally Greene)
Chapelboro had a great writer-up of the assemblage of 20 something council members at

Mark Chilton administered Lee's oath of office, and it was nice to meet old and new friends.
I did go back last week and check my 1973-75 campaign finance reports and Lee Storrow's 2011 report to see if any of the same people gave to both -- and I found 3: Jane Brown, Jane Stein, and Catherine DeVine.
