LEXINGTON — Fred Vickers said he waited more than an hour to vote at the Tates Creek library in Lexington Thursday afternoon.
“Once you get inside, there’s nothing to it,” Vickers added. He waited to cast his ballot because he felt like it was his “civic duty.” The line at the library stretched out the front door to the road.
