Morning update: Texas reporting 9,669,246 votes cast at the close of early voting. That's 57% of registered voters and 700,020 more votes than were cast in Texas in *all of 2016.*
Largest increases in 2020 early votes cast vs. 2016 total votes cast (TX counties w/ 100k+ registrants only): 1. Hays +35% 2. Williamson +28% 3. Denton +28% 4. Comal +26% 5. Fort Bend +25% 6. Collin +24% 7. Travis +17% 8. Guadalupe +16% 9. Ellis +16% 10. Montgomery +16%
The final day of TX early voting was a relatively strong one in the most heavily Hispanic counties. Total votes cast in the six most populous border counties (El Paso, Hidalgo, Cameron, Webb, Starr, Maverick) jumped 9.3%, vs. 6.2% everywhere else in TX.
It's quite possible Texas will cast more than 12 million votes in this election. That would be a massive increase after 8.96 million votes cast in 2016 and 8.37 million cast in 2018.
What’s your answer to the Georgia Florida question?
Yes, Dave. We've been waiting with bated breaths since yesterday.
Well, I wouldn't exactly call restricting mail-in voting to only 65+ (and fighting for this through multiple appeals) during a pandemic reasonable, but point taken. It's what it looks like when people see a good reason to vote.
Texans are not playing around this time, and I am here for it.
