Election signs for various candidates line the fence around Flint Baptist Church, one of 35 voting centers in Smith County on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020. Smith County citizens could vote at any of the 35 Smith County polling locations on Election Day.

It’s looking to be a smooth start to Election Day here in Smith County, with few lines at any of the 35 polling locations, and clear skies and mild temperatures for those who may have to wait outside before casting their ballots.
