BLOUNTVILLE - Some Sullivan County voters are saying long lines for last week's elections kept them from voting. But thousands of those who cast a ballot didn't vote in all the races.

It's sometimes called "single shot" voting - casting your vote for only one candidate, even if the race in question allows you to vote for two or more.

Some voters see it as a strategy that could give their favorite a lead over an opponent in a close race.

Other times voters may skip a particular race altogether.
