Update, Part II
I just came from the Farragut precincts (there are two, 66N and 66S, in the same building). After spending time in precincts throughout Knox County, I kept hearing that Farragut was having heavy turnout (whereas most of the county had average to above average turnout).
Having seen it for myself, I can confirm that Farragut is having very heavy turnout.
Bob Corker performed quite well in Farragut during the August primaries despite a concerted effort by the Bryant campaign to win the area:
66N - 50.1% for Corker
66S - 49.2% for Corker
Farragut has long been thought of as showing strong support for Corker. To add to that, I have long been told that Farragut is about 3:1 Republican. The scenes there - voting lines into the hundreds that wrapped around themselves like the line for Space Mountain at DisneyWorld - should be a good sign for the Republican nominee.
