[thechat] voter turnout

[Ben Dyer]

Not too bad in TX either. 508,070 early votes cast in Dallas County, which
is 42% of registered voters. (By comparison, 2004 saw only 28% of registered
voters turnout for early voting.)

All the early voting info for Texas:

Harris Co. - Houston
Dallas Co. - Dallas
Tarrant Co. - Fort Worth
Bexar Co. - San Antonio
Travis Co. - Austin
Collin Co. - McKinney, Northern Suburbs of Dallas
El Paso Co. - El Paso

Hidalgo Co. - Edinburg, McAllen (South Texas)
Fort Bend Co. - Sugar Land, parts of Houston (SW of Houston)
Montgomery Co. - Conroe, Northern Suburbs of Houston
