The wet weather did not stop hundreds of people in Rockland County from having their voices heard this election.

Many waited outside in the rain for hours to vote early - in a line that stretched around the building.

The voters were soaked but in good spirits.

As of Thursday morning, about 19,000 people voted early - triple the early voting turnout last year. Last year also wasn't a presidential election.

With four more days to go, the Board of Elections anticipates getting another 12,000-16,000 early voters - with more than half of roughly 40,000 absentee ballots requested already cast.

In a typical election year, Rockland has about 70% voter turnout. This year, 20% already voted. That's why election officials are forecasting a record-breaking year in Rockland.
