Four days out from Election Day more people have voted in Texas than in all of 2016.
That’s according to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report, a non-partisan election tracker.
“Texas just surpassed its 2016 total votes cast w/ one day of early voting & Election Day left to go,” Mr. Wasserman said on Twitter. “The state is reporting 9,009,850 votes already cast, vs. the all-time record of 8,969,226 in 2016. This is massive.”

The state is reporting 9,009,850 votes already cast, vs. the all-time record of 8,969,226 in 2016. This is massive.
Democrats have dreamed of carrying Texas and its 38 electoral votes in a presidential election.
They also are hoping to pick up the seats they need to control the Texas House of Representatives for the first time since 2002.
