“Too much like reality TV.” Voters ready to get to the next chapter.
At the Nashville Public Library’s Bellevue Branch, where long lines marked early voting, about 65 people had voted by 7:30 a.m., said Tom Bayersdorfer, a poll supervisor.
The library serves as the voting site for two west Nashville precincts, and Bayersdorfer said they were prepared for any volume of voters that came their way: 18 people are working election day at the small precinct with fewer than ten voting booths.
Walking out of the library after casting their votes, Daryl Rocco and Robert Stefanovich had different perspectives on the 2024 presidential election after casting their votes.
“I’m hopeful for Kamala and maybe some change could happen,” Rocco said.
“The real problems the country is facing are not going to be fixed no matter who wins,” Stefanovich said. “I would be happy if we could turn to the next chapter.”
Both had criticisms for the role of media coverage in this year’s election.
“It’s too much like reality TV,” Rocco said of the coverage. “People are looking at this as if it’s reality TV and it’s not.”
Rocco eschews nearly all media, turning to the Associated Press for reliable information, she said.
