More than 1.2 million Harris County residents took part in early voting this year, falling shy of 2020's record turnout of approximately 1.4 million.
According to the Texas Secretary of State’s unofficial results, 1,176,426 people voted in person across Harris County during early voting. As of the final day of early voting, Nov. 1, 53,500 had also already voted via mail, making for a total of 1,229,926 ballots cast during early voting.
This is the second-highest number of ballots ever cast during early voting in Harris County. 2020 still holds the record with 1,265,405 in-person ballots and 171,247 mail-in ballots cast during early voting. That's approximately 88,000 more in-person voters and 117,000 more mail-in ballots than in 2024.
Overall early voter turnout amongst registered voters was also lower this year compared to 2020. In 2020, 57.92% of Harris County's 2.4 million registered voters voted during early voting while this year only 45.67% of the nearly 2.7 million registered voters voted early, according to the secretary of state's office.
One possible reason behind the dip is that there were only two weeks of early voting this year while 2020 had three weeks to accommodate for the COVID pandemic. Since the 2020 election, new state voter ID laws have also gone into effect, reducing the amount of voters eligible to receive a mail-in ballot.
On Monday, Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth released a statement and said that some of the statistics on the number of voters at specific early voting centers may be inaccurate due to a spreadsheet error…

Yay.
Stay at home
and doncha roam.
You don’t need no ballot box.
Watching TV is what really rocks.
Yeah, the real big question is election day turnout. It seems that Dems are fried. Dems expected a 50k boost in PA mail and got 2k.
There’s no enthusiasm and the die-hards voted already.
GA::Early vote for black voters in Columbus, GA is 80% of 2020 and for GOP leaning voters in the Columbus suburbs, it is 110% of 2020. Similar story across the state. Black voters just didn’t vote early at a sufficient rate… - From X
80,000 fake votes didn’t show up.

Gee , That’s too bad
Calculators still work if spreadsheets are too confusing.
In 2020 a lot of states sent mail in ballots to all voters and encouraged voters to early vote. This year most states have gone back to only sending mail in ballots by request only. This will weed out a lot of the “lazy” low information voters that only voted in 2020 because they received a ballot in the mail and their liberal friends hassled them about returning it (or in many cases, I’m guessing, took the ballot and filled it out themselves).
Hard core Democrat urban precinct captains are going to have no choice but to pull out those dusty old boxes of empty ballots and cast them—for Joe Biden.
Will there be some of them dumb enough to do this?
We will know soon enough!
nail on head
There's only one option left.
Cheat.
There are plenty of old boxes of Biden ballots still available.
I will be lol if some network shows massive votes for Biden tomorrow night.
LOL - Good point
In Harris County low show for mail in is more likely a sign that the Democrats are not so enthusiastic. Houston is a Democrat city.
It’s a trend and strict ID requirements.
Harris County is beyond corrupt.
Someone is monkeying with the numbers:
Wednesday Oct 30 at HCC 610 loop easily 2,500 voters entered that voting center by all accounts and this morning Harris County Central Count adjusted that number to 711?
Over 60 daily totals shifted from heavy “Republican” polling locations to heavy “Democrat” polling locations.
We want answers.

Harris County is going through an identity crisis.
Sheila Jackson Lee died, the Whitmire clan regained control of the mayor's office, Lina Hidalgo is going through a slow-motion nervous breakdown, and Democrat DA Kim Ogg endorsed Ted Cruz for the Senate.

I hear Dallas County was also down big.
Not only that, but we have reason to believe that an unusually high percentage of blacks that are showing up are voting Trump.
