The voter turnout numbers are coming through out of Waller County. Nearly 1,700 voters have come through the polling places in the last few hours and many of the polling places are starting to see big numbers as the work day comes to a close and the voting window narrows.

Waller County elections officials tell us they won't have any results posted until after 7 p.m. The polling places there are steady, they report.
In Brazos County, polling places are calm, according to voters. The lines are not nearly as long as what they were during early voting, which is what is keeping the polling places moving steadily along. Pay attention to this because this means there could be a surge in voting once the work day is through.
This isn't true in all parts of the nation. Some states are reporting lines as early as 5 a.m.
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 1:40 p.m.

Robertson and Washington counties are reporting early voting has shattered previous voting records. Washington County reports voter turnout today is smaller compared to last week, but there are plenty of hours to go.
Remember to vote in the county you are registered to vote in. Even though you are registered to vote in Texas, it does not mean you can vote in any county. If you come to vote in a county in which you are not registered, you must complete a provisional ballot. Here's a look at voter rights in Texas:
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 12:00 p.m.
According to a new poll released Thursday, President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are tied in Texas at 48.1%. With an historic turnout across the state in early voting numbers, Texas could put up a big fight when it comes to the presidential race in 2020. The Lonestar State is one of the key places to watch on election night due to the level of turnout. While not known to be a swing state like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Virginia, Texas had nine million people participate in early voting. In the election of 2016, just 8.9 people voted in the election.
In other words, we could be in for a long haul and it's likely Election Day won't be over by midnight tonight.
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 11:00 a.m.
