Texas sets early voting record in nonpresidential year [View all]
Texans have set a record for early voting in a non-presidential primary election year, the Laredo Morning Times reported Friday.
More than 602,000 voters have cast ballots in the largest counties through Wednesday. That total includes votes cast in both Democratic and Republican primaries, with more ballots cast buy Democrats than Republicans.
It does not count ballots that were cast on Thursday or Friday, the last day of voting.
It's the first time in a decade, when Barack Obama was battling Hillary Clinton in a presidential primary, that Texas Democrats have seen the largest turnout in a primary.
Democrats have outvoted Republicans by more than 25,000 ballots since early voting began on Feb. 20.
