Missississippi voter turnout heavy in early voting

At the Flowood Library just northeast of Jackson, lines of voters, in some places two or three people deep, backed up for 100 yards.

Elsewhere in traditionally Republican Rankin County, motorists maneuvering to enter the parking area of a National Guard armory in Brandon temporarily blocked morning traffic.

Mississippi has voted Republican in presidential races since 1980 and nominee John McCain was expected to keep the state’s six electoral votes in the GOP folder.
