Who knows the demographics of the counties. R or D?

Texas is RED, so there is no worry. Early turnout in other places like Ohio hasn’t been so great.

I do worry about early voting. I mean, what's the point other than dragging Dems to the polls over weeks who might not vote?
We are hearing record turnouts in a lot of DEM areas, so maybe the projected turnout by the pollsters is not off.
Then again..we won't know how it stacks up until it's all over with. Some people might show up the first few days of early voting then by the end of next week, the numbers will be where they usually are for turnout.
I think Republicans will have high turn out too, though. This will be like 2004 in that sense.
Wait and see.

I voted Monday in 70% Republican Denton County!

Took all of 3 minutes from the time I walked in the door.

I was at a park yesterday that has a voting location in a small community room. An old mexican woman walked up and said something in Spanish - the younger girl with her also spoke not a single word of English - wanting to know where to vote.

The signs all along the path had VOTE/Aqui which I believe means vote here. So even if she couldn't read VOTE, she could clearly see "here" with arrows pointing to the room.

Sure, they were legal residents - neither one speaks one word of English but they can vote here.

I voted early this morning in the Clear Lake area of Houston.

At 8:00 am there were about 80-100 people in line and people were pouring into the parking lot.

I got there about 7:20 and was out at 8:05.

Only voted once so it was quick.

The Clear Lake area of Houston is very strong Republican.

I was the first to vote early in Kenny Co. Texas. It took about two minutes to sign in, mark the ballot and drop it in the ballot box.
