Early voting has opened across Texas, bringing long lines and record first-day midterm turnout in some of the state’s most-populous areas and complaints about outdated technology slowing people casting their ballots elsewhere. Monday’s balloting exceeded early voting’s opening day during the last midterm cycle in 2014 in Harris, Travis, Tarrant and Travis Counties – some of the state’s largest.
Nearly 690,000 people in Texas’ 30 largest counties cast ballots on the first day of early voting, with many areas far exceeding early balloting’s opening day from the last midterm elections in 2014.
