2. Chatham County reports that more than 16,000 voters have cast an early ballot so far. That is a record-breaking amount of ballots for the county's early voting period. About 28 percent more ballots have been cast compared to the 2018 midterm election. The county's early voting period continues through Nov. 4, with the General Election scheduled for Nov. 8. (WTOC)
3. The Feed a Trucker campaign offered Savannah area truckers a free meal on Monday. Veteran Carriers began the program last year as a way to show appreciation to the drivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the program served over 250 meals. The free meals are distributed every other month with a rotating team of volunteers. (WTOC)
