Harris County has now exceeded total turnout for the 2012 election, which was 1.2 million.

Holy Moly

That is incredible..........and still 3 days to go for early voting. I think she means 2016 though.

They tried to stop people voting by putting one drop box but the voters literally showed them

1. K&R!

2. which state? OK - I see the tiny print on the seal - Texas

but it's good to put that info in your text.

4. Good point. But you can expand the size of DU posts to make tiny details larger.

The most famous and populous “Harris” County in the USA is the one in Texas that includes Houston. I don’t that there is any other that can ring up 1.2 million early votes, hell, I doubt that there is another one that even has 400,00 people living in it total.

7. Yes, but do most people know the names of the counties in most metro areas?

And the seal is in the tweet, not in the post itself - many DUers aren't on Twitter, and I am but often I can't see tweets linked here, especially when viewing DU on my phone.

Isn't it easier to just put TEXAS in one's OP, ideally the subject line?

GO HARRIS COUNTY TX VOTERS!

11. The Tweet was posted as a photo, so you can expand it.

We are arguing an aside. You are right, when people mention geographical names, they should provide full details that let people know the location.

15. Not to prolong this "argument" but I'm on my computer and

it shows as a link to a tweet, not as a photo.

16. I am on an iPhone. It showed up as a photo, with a link.

If you are using Windows 8 software or newer, there are phone-like features.

3. I'm thinking Dem landslide..

After years of winning the General election, but losing the Presidency the voters are making themselves heard.

5. Turn around three times and spit

6. This county has it's shit together I'm jealous our SOS

In Oh has one voting place per county no matter the population. Great job Texas will go BLUE

[LisaL]

10. Yep, in OH we got one drop box per county and one early voting location per county.

So unlike TX, we can't put up huge early in person voting numbers. But we did have a lot of mail in absentee ballots this election.

[Tribetime]

12. Maybe we can change this soon and get rid of the SOS

[LisaL]

13. I think we need a whole democratic congress (in OH) for that.

Our SOS keeps claiming that he follows OH law.

8. They do mean 2012 election.

Drop box is for mail in ballots. TX doesn't allow no excuse mail in voting, so in TX the number of mail in ballots is less than in states that allow anyone who wants to vote absentee.
But they have a lot of early in person voting locations, enabling a lot of people to vote early.

14. 2016 turnout was 1.3 million. They will surpass that soon.

9. Texas? If so good news.

17. No 2012 is correct.
