Dallas ∙ Early voting for the November 8 midterm election in the United States closes today (Friday) at 7:00 pm. Voting began on 24 October. At the last count, 2.7 million voters in Texas have already exercised their right to vote. 19% of the vote was cast in the 30 major counties of Texas.
Compared to the 2018 elections, the voting rate is slow this time. At the same time, in 2018, 3.3 million voters voted, with 27% of the vote in 30 major counties.
Governor Greg Abbott’s Republican Party estimates that at least 10 million people will register to vote in 2022. The points gap between Grog Abbott and Beto Rourke is widening as election day approaches. Beto Rourke was able to lead a strong campaign, but the public attitude towards the Democratic Party was not favorable, so there was no hope of victory. According to polls, Texas, a Republican state, should give Grog Abbott a third chance at the governorate.
