AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — 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.
More than 9 million ballots have been cast as of Friday morning in the nation’s second most-populous state, exceeding the 8,969,226 cast in 2016, according to an Associated Press tally of early votes from data provided by Texas officials.
Texas is the first state to hit the milestone. This year’s numbers were aided by Democratic activists challenging in court for, and winning, the right to extend early voting by one week amid the coronavirus pandemic.

How many fake?
Praying that they are getting out an voting for Trump!
I voted for Trump yesterday. No way in hell Texas goes blue this time around.
The “ap” out of Austin??? I’m sure these no bias there. Sheesh.
I guess more ballots automatically means they’re all for biden....I wonder what makes them think that
All lies. Trump by 10 at least.
I think Latino vote here will be strong for Trump.
I suspect by election night that ballots cast will exceed Texas population
95% of the vote is already in.
Texas isn’t even close to being the country’s most reliably GOP state. But it ain’t a battleground either.
I will take your word for it since you live in Texas. My worry is the people that left California. Wondering if the majority were Republican’s?
Early voting does tend to skew Democratic. Republicans are more likely to go out and vote on Election Day.
D - 3,293,048 (38.8%)
R - 4,366,847 (51.4%)
U - 830,513 (9.8%)
T - 8,490,408
Does anyone think that the election judges in leftist parts of town are checking any voter IDs, except when they are on camera?
I assure you that in my part of Texas, south of Dallas, that the conservatives are voting in even greater numbers, in person, than in 2016.
Something about not trusting the mail in ballot situation ...
Believing Texas is in play is just more wishful thinking by the Dems.
This is good news!
A big tip-off: watch who is campaigning there. Nobody. Joe Biden would be living in the state if it was at all possible to grab it. Jill Biden came 2 weeks ago for 3 small stops after a misleading Rasmussen poll came out. Neither Potus not surrogates have been spending any time in the great state of Texas.
It’s very telling.
They are all real ballots that they are printing around the clock at a Confucius Institute in the basement.... I can assure you they are all physically real
What numbers are those, registered voters or returned ballots (hope!)?
There is no way this many libs are coming out to AGAINST Trump. This has to be pro trump for the most part.
