[Shell_Seas]

Bexar, Travis, and DFW Counties lead the charge in record-breaking turnout.

The Texas Secretary of State (SoS) shows some of yesterday’s early voting numbers, but many counties have yet to show up. Did we beat the 1.1 million first-day turnout we saw in 2020? We should know later today.

Multiple counties around the state saw record turnout yesterday. This is good news for Democrats, as higher turnout typically favors us. Let’s hope that high turnout continues throughout early voting. Let’s get into it.

The counties that broke records:
Bexar County had the highest first-day voter turnout, with 46,820 ballots on Monday. This is a big deal because Bexar County is one of the most critical counties for Democrats in this election. Aside from having three Texas House seats primed for flipping, we’re also trying to get rid of Chip Roy.

Travis County also saw its highest first-day voter turnout, with 46,600 people voting yesterday. In 2020, that number was just over 35,000, so this was a big jump. Travis County is a safe blue bastion, another good sign for Democrats.

1. Like Florida and other deep red states..................

I personally believe there will be some hanky-panky with the numbers. Unfortunately, that is the way I feel.

Anywho, good news tho.

3. Chip Roy who gripped about them not doing anything.

But was part of the problem why they didn’t do anything.

4. I wonder if certain votes will not be counted because the repukes is the state don't want any Democratic

Candidates to win. Texas politicians are dishonest and evil.

5. Our side is excited

6. Are they going to count all the votes!!!

It's a 3rd world red state so I of course have great doubts. I don't trust Hot Wheels or his Cycloptic Att. Gen. at all.

10. Yes, my site in Travis County was the busiest I've ever seen it.

And thel line was steady the whole time.

11. Very busy in northern Brazoria County this afternoon

lots of people, lots of machines ...

Was gratified that they were showing several people how to put their sheets into the machines (which means they haven't voted in awhile). I think we're seeing good early turnout!
