Vital Early Voting Period Begins in Texas

“The time has finally come: Texans can begin casting ballots on Monday, and their early votes will help determine whether a prospective Democratic revival nationwide will upend three decades of statewide Republican rule,” the New York Times reports.

“Most votes in Texas tend to be cast early, with 80 percent coming before Election Day in 2024 and about two-thirds in 2022, according to state election data. That means campaigns will be hustling to get their supporters to the polls from now until Oct. 30, when the state’s early voting period ends.”
