Voters in the battleground state of Texas have already surpassed the state\u2019s 2016 total voting numbers with more than 9 million people voting early, according to CNN<\/a>. That number is 53 percent of all registered voters compared to 59 percent in 2016. With one last day of early voting statewide today, the numbers are expected to increase.<\/p>\n

There were a total of 8.96 million ballots cast in the presidential election four years ago, according to the Texas secretary of state’s website. Around 433,000 people voted in person yesterday. A record 47.6 percent voted in person while 5.6 percent voted by mail, according to the Texas Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Donald Trump are in a tight race in the state. A Democratic candidate has not won Texas since 1976. Trump won Texas four years ago by 10 percentage points. This year, Texas has also seen a record number of election-related lawsuits for the first time in recent history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gone through many elections, and I don\u2019t recall ever having lawsuits like these,\u201d Douglas Ray, a special assistant to the Harris County attorney\u2019s office, said, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cI certainly haven\u2019t had to deal with the attorney general coming down on us repeatedly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Voters who are out of the county during early voting or on Election Day are eligible for mail-in voting. Some voting locations in Houston stayed open all night last night to accommodate those who were unable to take time off from work to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
