How did Early voting go up your way? I haven't looked at a lot of smaller Counties but did look at Jefferson and there were almost 15,000 early votes with it being like 10,000+ dems to about 4,500 GOP. It seems to me that there was a good bit of interest based upon EV turnout.

Here is the results posted by the SOS for the largest 15 Counties in Texas. My guess is that the GOP may top the turnout of previous gov primaries which has never been above 700,000 votes. It was just over 650,000 in 2006.

Voting was heavy the first few days but I don't know how it went since.

We have a 3-way congressional race going for congress. Kevin Brady voted for the bailout...I didn't vote for him. I would love if he gets beat but I doubt it. Both challengers are his neighbors in Conroe.
