TV6 hosts preview local election week, cite higher advance turnout
Summary
On-air hosts Steve Bowers and Christy Turnbo reminded viewers that Election Day is Thursday, Aug. 6, relayed polling hours for Madison County, and cited an increase in advance votes from 6,572 to 8,178 relative to four years earlier, with a shift in party share.
Steve Bowers and Christy Turnbo opened the broadcast with a reminder that "Election day is coming up Thursday, August 6," and that Madison County polls will open at 08:00 and close at 19:00.
Bowers and Turnbo cited advance-vote figures, saying the total rose from 6,572 four years ago to 8,178 this year and that party shares have shifted: "the GOP was 61% of the advance vote" four years ago and is "down to 54% this year," while the Democratic share rose from "36 percent" to roughly "44%." The hosts said they will carry election returns live on TV6 after polls close.
The segment did not include election-office officials or precinct-level breakdowns; voters with specific questions about polling places or hours should consult county election authorities.
