Early voting is underway in Texas, with voters casting ballots in a closely contested U.S. Senate race that could help determine the balance of power in Washington, according to NPR.
Spectrum News reported strong early turnout despite concerns surrounding the voting period. The Texan said Texas was on track for record midterm turnout and reported that Democrats were leading in the early vote. Early-voting figures, however, do not establish the final result, and The Texas Tribune examined how the data may relate to eventual outcomes.
Questions have also emerged about how the statewide figures are being compiled. The Houston Chronicle reported that Texas early-voting totals did not match numbers reported by counties.
The voting period has also prompted practical questions about polling locations, including whether Texans may cast ballots at any early-voting site. Separately, voters in six other states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio — will consider measures that would impose or expand voter-identification requirements, according to the Washington Examiner.
