Nearly 55% of Collin County voters had gone to the polls through Sunday, so far casting over 54-thousand more votes than 2016.
In Denton County, the 2016 early voting record was broken by nearly 60-thousand votes on Sunday at nearly 300-thousand votes cast.
Dave Wasserman, House Editor for The Cook Political Report tweeted:
New: Denton and Williamson counties in TX just became the second and third in the nation after Hays (to my knowledge) to surpass their *total* 2016 votes cast. And there's still a week of voting left.
