As previously suggested, the proof was in the mail ballots.
While in-person voting saw a drop off from 2010, the mail ballots saw a dramatic increase. Think about these numbers...
For the top 15 counties:
2010 mail ballots after Day 1 of early voting: 61,104
2014 mail ballots after Day 1 of early voting: 127,035
Harris 2010: 24,273
Harris 2014: 41,520
Dallas 2010: 11,464
Dallas 2014: 16, 180
Tarrant 2010: 549
Tarrant 2014: 15,925
Bexar 2010: 4,899
Bexar 2014: 12,942
The unknown is who is driving this mail ballot turnout. Wendy Davis is from Fort Worth/Tarrant, but is she driving this large number?
Getting back to Bexar, we can now say that we did see an increase in turnout from 2010. Combined in-person and mail from 2010 was 19,571. In 2014 that number is 26,378.
For Day 2 in Bexar County it was steady as she goes.
The Top 10 voting sites were mostly the same:
1. Brookhollow Library: 944
2. Wonderland of the Americas: 656
3. Maury Maverick: 633
4. Semmes Library: 618
5. Great Northwest Library: 512
6. Tobin Library @ Oakwell: 578
7. Cody Library: 577
Shavano Park City Hall: 577
9. Parman Library @ Stone Oak: 569
10. Lion's Field: 554
For the 4 college sites, there was an increase: 482
In total, we now have 12 early voting sites that have passed the 1,000 voters mark:
Brookhollow Library: 1,849
Wonderland of the Americas: 1,336
Semmes Library: 1,229
Maury Maverick Library: 1,200
Great Northwest Library: 1,200
Lion's Field: 1,165
Parman Library @ Stone Oak: 1,136
Tobin Library @ Oakwell: 1,131
Cody Library: 1,097
Shavano Park City Hall: 1,085
John Igo Library: 1,050
Bexar County Justice Center: 1,011
Overall the number of in-person voters was up from yesterday: 13,899. What'll be interesting to see is the mail ballot numbers from today. As of right now though, in-person voting is still down from 2010.
