While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

KBIA analysis: About 20% of Missouri voters cast early ballots

As no-excuse absentee voting concludes today across Missouri, a KBIA analysis shows it's likely that more than 600,000 voters have already cast ballots.

As no-excuse absentee voting concludes today across Missouri, a KBIA analysis shows it's likely that more than 600,000 voters have already cast ballots.

That represents about one of every five registered voters in the state electing to vote in advance of Election Day. That includes more than 200,000 people in St. Louis County, more than 35,000 near Springfield in Greene County and 28,000 in Boone County.

This is the first presidential election where Missouri has allowed no-excuse, in-person absentee balloting ahead of Election Day. Polls will be open tomorrow between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Any voters still in line at 7 p.m. Tuesday will be allowed to cast ballots.

KBIA reporters Sophia Anderson and Claire Kespohl called all 113 Missouri counties, as well as St. Louis City, as early voting was wrapping up Monday. Click here for the numbers given to them by 85 of Missouri's counties.
