Texas just broke its midterm early-voting record, and I couldn't be prouder of my state.
More than 7.7 million Texans voted early, according to preliminary Secretary of State data reported by the Texas Tribune. That's 40.5% of registered voters, passing the modern high mark set in 2018. Back in 2022, about 5.5 million Texans voted early. And more than 19 million Texans are now registered, up 2.2% from 2024.
The ballot is loaded. Gov. Greg Abbott is running for a historic fourth term, and Ken Paxton is in a tight Senate race with James Talarico. The experts are right that early numbers don't tell us who people voted for.
So if you haven't voted yet, Tuesday is your day, Texas. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 🇺🇸
