Texas Democrats' early voting totals should 'shock every conservative to their core,' Abbott email [View all]

AUSTIN — Early voting for the March primary is more than half over, and Democrats have outpaced Republicans at the polls on each day.
Through Sunday in the 15 Texas counties with the most registered voters, 135,070 people had voted in the Republican primary and 151,236 in the Democratic. Compared to the first six days of early voting in 2014, Democratic turnout increased 69 percent, while Republicans saw a 20 percent increase.
The Democrats even surpassed their early voting totals from the 2016 primary — a presidential election year.
Sen. Ted Cruz told a group of Republican voters this month that the left would “crawl over broken glass in November to vote ... We could get obliterated at the polls,” and other Republicans appear to be taking the Democratic surge seriously. Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign sent supporters an email Monday asking for donations to help him get out the vote, warning that the early voting numbers “should shock every conservative to their core.”
