Style format in miami in about two weeks.

Doug luzader, in washington fox news.

>> leah: november 3rd election less than a month away and already historically different than any other.

>> jon: brooke schwieters looking at how folks prepare to vote and historic numbers we are talking here.

>> brooke: exactly right.

These numbers, they speak for themselves.

Take a look at this.

Latest numbers in charleston county 51,894, that's number of voters have requested absentee mailing baon the and -- ballot and return the application.

How it differs from the past, during 2016 election charleston county only had about 16,000 returned absentee ballots by mail.

That's a 224% increase.

Like you mentioned we are still a month away from this election.

Now, we also got the latest absentee numbers from berkeley and dorchester county.

Plenty of voting from home but still some expected to head out to the polls on november 3rd.

Thus, those poll workers are still needed.

Each county working to recruit.

Big pushes on social media surrounding safety and incentives includes an example of 100 extra dollars to work in charleston county this year.

Now, no concerns over those recruitment numbers in the tri-county area just yet but i want to note this.

If you aren't going to be filling out one of those absentee ballots, witness signature, it is no longer required.

This is a lot of back and forth in recent weeks.

I have reached out to south carolina elections commission with future voters and have not gotten a response.
