Go vote. That is the best advice anyone will give you today.

Put aside the vitriol. Ignore the name-calling. Just cast a ballot. 

Below are a few reminders about the runoff today:

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Lincoln Countians can cast a ballot for candidates in the U.S. Senate special election runoff and Court of Appeals general election runoff. Any voter in line at 7 p.m. is entitled to cast a ballot.

Lincoln County Circuit Clerk Dustin Bairfield is expecting a high turnout for the runoff. Based on the number of absentee votes already received since the general election, Bairfield thinks at least a quarter of the 22,600 registered voters in Lincoln County will cast a vote in one or both of the runoffs on the ballot. Voters will choose between Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Lawrence County native who lives on a farm in Lincoln County with her husband, Michael Smith, and Democrat Mike Espy in the special election runoff for U.S. Senate.

Also on the ballot are David McCarty and Jeff Weill Sr. in the general election runoff for Court of Appeals District 4 Position 2.
