Primary Run-Off Results: Early Voting Day Four
Can we break three percent by close of business?
By Richard Whittaker, 12:12PM, Fri. Jul. 27, 2012
Tick, tick, tick. The clock is running down on early voting for the July 31 primary run-offs. After four days, turnout has still to break 3% in Travis County.
There was a little up-tick in yesterday's results. The Travis County Clerk reports 3,925 ballots cast on Thursday, bringing the total to 15,704 or 2.63% of the county's 597,479 registered voters. No shocker, GOP turnout (with all those ugly, high-profile races) still dwarfs Democratic excitement by a three-to-one margin.
You have until 6pm today, Friday July 27, for early voting, then the actual election is July 31. You can find voting locations and info here, and our endorsements here.
