CHRISTIANA, Tenn. (AP) — Rutherford County voter Steve Helton says he's in favor of replacing incumbents this Election Day.
The 62-year-old who was casting his ballot in Christiana on Thursday said, "We need to get rid of every one of those bastards in Washington, D.C. They've got to go."
Campaign workers are outnumbering voters at several polling locations in Rutherford County with light turnout despite sunny Election Day weather.
Helton, who owns his own transportation business, said he voted for Grant Starrett in the GOP primary in the 4th congressional district, hoping to oust incumbent Republican Rep. Scott DesJarlais.
Joseph Clara, a 47-year-old construction project manager, said he normally would have voted against the incumbent but voted for DesJarlais because Starrett is from California.
"He has no roots here," Clara said.Tenn. (AP) — A campaign season that has been marked by sexual harassment allegations, stolen yard signs and physical altercations between candidates draws to a close when the primary polls close on Thursday evening.
