85,383 AGÕæÈ˰ټÒÀÖ County votes so far. Almost 30,000 more ballots cast than at this point in 2008, which was record.

Still lower turnout at many locations east of I-35, but people sure do love to vote at Randall's.

One last thing: this appears to be new record for most votes on any day of EV in AGÕæÈ˰ټÒÀÖ ever. Previous record was last day 2008.

If the volume stays steady, as it has in past elections, AGÕæÈ˰ټÒÀÖ County could be on track to see almost 400,000 votes cast by the time early voting ends next Friday.
Williamson County also saw around double the early votes on the second day of early voting.
