Texas Run-Off: Early Vote Turnout
The Texas Secretary of State publishes the early vote numbers for select counties. During the regular primary, they published the numbers for the top 15 counties, and during the run-off, they published the numbers for the top 10 counties.
The early vote turnout for the top 15 counties during the regular primary was 343,497 - 4.7 percent of registered voters.
The early vote turnout for the top 10 counties during the run-off was 243,795 - 3.3 percent of registered voters.
That’s pretty amazing. Opinion about why the turnout is so high for the run-off and who it benefits varies, but it’s remarkable none the less.
