Texas early voting turnout outpaces 2022 numbers
Early voting turnout across North Texas is moving at a faster pace compared to the previous midterm cycle.
DALLAS - Texans have until the end of the day Friday to cast their ballots early.
Statewide and local turnout already exceeds total early voting numbers from the 2022 midterm elections.
