Election officials in Tennessee are reporting that 3,045,401 people cast their votes on Tuesday, smashing the previous record of 2.6 million voters in the 2008 election, the Tennessean reports. Voter turnout in Tennessee is often ranked among the lowest in the country, hovering in the 60% range since 1996. On Election Day, state election officials at all levels reported that everything went smoothly, possibly thanks to the unprecedented amount of early and absentee voters this year. Officials are expected to certify Tuesday's vote by Nov. 23.
