[deport]

4,098 of the total 5,445 primary ballots were early voters and 2,800 of those were by mail!

The article states 55% of the registered voters...

However none of this matches to any results posted on the Secretary of State's election web site for the Democrat primary in Duval County.....

I guess the mail in ballots may not be included in the total as shown on the SOS results... The highest totals shown on the web site are for the two Props. All the candidate races show much less.

But all said and done the Duke of Duval and box 13 in Alice gave Landside Lyndon the 204 vote statewide margin to become the Senator from Texas in 1948...

The high turnout was in the local races, deport. I guess they were trying to keep a low profile.

"In local Duval County races, turnout was more than five times the state average, with 5,533, or 55 percent, of the county's 9,839 registered voters turning in the county judge's race and 5,317, or 54 percent, voting in the treasurer's election, according to election returns."
