The Texas Secretary of State (SoS) shows some of yesterday’s early voting numbers, but many counties have yet to show up. Did we beat the 1.1 million first-day turnout we saw in 2020? We should know later today.

Multiple counties around the state saw record turnout yesterday. This is good news for Democrats, as higher turnout typically favors us. Let’s hope that high turnout continues throughout early voting. Let’s get into it.

The counties that broke records:
Bexar County had the highest first-day voter turnout, with 46,820 ballots on Monday. This is a big deal because Bexar County is one of the most critical counties for Democrats in this election. Aside from having three Texas House seats primed for flipping, we’re also trying to get rid of Chip Roy.

Travis County also saw its highest first-day voter turnout, with 46,600 people voting yesterday. In 2020, that number was just over 35,000, so this was a big jump. Travis County is a safe blue bastion, another good sign for Democrats.
