Heavy voter turnout in Travis County

[TexasTowelie]

3:30 p.m. update: Approximately 60,000 Travis County residents had voted as of 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Travis County clerk’s office.

Officials said that voter turnout is heavy and causing long lines at some poll sites.

Election administrators in Williamson and Hays counties did not immediately respond to queries about turnout or possible problems at the polls there. Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir said no problems have been reported in the county.

However, Leander resident Greg Jones said that he was given the wrong provisional ballot Tuesday when he went to vote at Leander High School. The ballot included elections for Round Rock elections, he said.
