early voting

Texans have already cast more ballots in the presidential election than they did during all of 2016, an unprecedented surge of early voting in a state that was once the country’s most reliably Republican, but may now be drifting toward battleground status.

Early and mail voters in the state so far have reached more than 65% of the total turnout four years ago, a record pace. About 6 million Texans have voted early.

A last-minute challenge by the Republican parties of Texas and Harris County argued the largely Democratic county's new drive-thru polling places were illegal.

Texas has allowed curbside voting for decades, for anyone physically unable to enter a polling place. Voters ask for help when they get to a polling location, and an election officer will bring a ballot to the car.

Many election department officials across Texas are enjoying large turnout numbers this week — and they know there's more to come thanks to the extended early voting period.

Voters in downtown Dallas, Allen, Arlington and other polling locations across the metroplex turned out for the first day of early voting.

An order from a federal appeals court Saturday set up another potential legal showdown over voting in Texas as mail-in ballots are already being collected and just days before early voting begins.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled against several GOP officials who pushed to keep early voting to a two-week period during the pandemic.
