Early voting is still steady after a busy first day in DeKalb County.

By the end of Wednesday, more than 25,000 people had cast ballots, including by mail, according to the elections office.

Of the three polling sites open, the busiest has been the main office off Memorial Drive outside Decatur, where 10,078 ballots had been cast. The South DeKalb Mall polling place was in second with more than 5,053, not far ahead of the Tucker Recreation Center's 4,950.

On Monday, voters streamed into the elections office, many of them expressing frustration with this year's presidential race.

As could be expected in a county known as a Democratic stronghold, much of the frustration was with Republican nominee Donald Trump. But even more conservative voters were tired of the unusual election.
