At the Richland Elementary School precinct in East Memphis, 25 people had voted as of about 8:15, and election staffer Kathy Stafford said things had gone smoothly.
"We did have some people in early," Stafford said. "Hopefully this weather clears up and we get more."
Sharon O'Guin said she traditionally prefers to wait until Election Day to vote, rather than do early voting, in part because "it adds to the excitement."
"In a way, I'm disappointed there's not a longer line," said O'Guinn, who preferred not to disclose her voting preference.
Laurie Martini said she had wanted to wait for all the debates and forums to complete before voting, and said she had not made up her mind until Wednesday night. She, too, preferred not to share her voting preference.
