Texas entered the final weekend before the November 3 midterm election with remarkable early-voting turnout. More than 6.4 million in-person ballots had been cast through Thursday, surpassing the 5.5 million recorded during the 2018 midterm early-vote period. That comparison does not yet include Friday or mail ballots. The surge signals intense interest, but it does not predict which candidates will win.
The lighter side
The campaigns have knocked on so many doors that even the doorbells are requesting absentee ballots.
