The totals are coming in, and Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir expects the early vote total to exceed 50% of registered voters after outstanding mail-in ballots are tallied. "Half of all voters have cast their ballots - and we're not done yet," said DeBeauvoir. 49.28% of the county's 609,224 registered voters early voted. With almost five thousand early voting-by-mail ballots outstanding, the total whould be even higher. In the 2004 presidential election, 38% cast a ballot during early voting. DeBeauvoir expects Election Day turnout to fall between 150,000 and 200,000 ballots. That would bring turnout to a record-setting 80%. |
