[Durham INC] Early voting began Thursday

[Joshua Allen]

Thanks for reminding us all, Pat. 

Has there ever been any discussion of holding an instant run off in Durham?  It's pretty insane to vote again a few weeks later when we could settle all at one time.

A lot of folks seem to think if they just voted, why are we voting again.  That was the primary, and now we are doing the final choice.  So please tell friends and neighbors that they should get out and vote again.
