Early Voting Surges in Texas

October 20 marked the first day of early voting in Texas, and what a big day it was! Dallas county broke it's previous turnout record with 33,000 votes and more than 8,500 had voted in San Antonio before noon, trumping their 2004 early voting record. 

While voting was heavy in Dallas, which leans Republican, there was also heavy turnout in areas which tend to lean Democratic, such as Desoto, Duncanville, and Oak Cliff. 

It is impossible to tell which way the vote went- votes wont be counted until the end of early voting- October 31 and wont be announced until 7 pm on November 4.
