12. My county's early vote turnout interests me. Looks like Dems are turning out a little better than Republicans.

But turnout is low. I hope tomorrow brings the total number of Democratic voters in Hays County moving up in percentage of registered voters casting votes.

That said, it's true that it is hard to know who to vote for in a primary election. It takes much more work because there are so many on the ballot during a primary. I spent a whole lot of time and energy researching, including looking up campaign finance reports, searching out videos, etcetera. Google does not make it easy either.

Our League of Women Voters chapter had a webpage showing all the candidates on the primary ballot for both the Republican and Democratic candidate, from the top of the ballot down to the local constable races. Maybe that helped voters start their research so our county had a little better turnout than the lowest percentage. So many voter research tools don't have all the offices that will be on the ballot, stopping at the district or county-wide races.
