More than 1.3 million in-person and mailed ballots had been cast by Tuesday .

Some towns remain without water, after their entire systems were destroyed.

Turnout for early voting in western North Carolina has been surprisingly strong.

All scheduled poll workers, about 70 of them, were still available to work during the early voting period and on Election Day .

Recovery is ongoing across Buncombe County , North Carolina , where recovery efforts are ongoing.

Some voters overcame detours forced by damaged roads, prolonged power outages and other disruptions so they could be heard in what many described as one of the most critical presidential elections of their lives.
