Record Turnout for Democratic Primaries in Texas
Early voting in Texas has seen a remarkable surge, with Democratic primary turnout breaking records across the state. Reports indicate that early voting participation is significantly higher than in previous elections, particularly in major counties such as Travis and Bexar, where numbers have reached their highest levels in years. As primary day approaches on March 3, Democrats have been leading over Republicans in early voting, fueling discussions about potential shifts in political momentum. Voter turnout has reportedly doubled in several regions compared to past midterm elections, and many early voters have expressed their motivations for participating this year. With just days remaining before the polls close on February 27 for early voting, officials are closely monitoring these trends as candidates for state and local offices prepare for a competitive primary season.
