Hays County Early Voter Turnout Surpasses 2016 Election Totals

David LeDoux

With five days to go until election day, Hays County voted in higher numbers over the last 14 days then what they cast for the 2016 general election. Voters have headed to the polls in record numbers for what seems like a never-ending battle for power and control.

Both parties are preaching this is “the most important election in our lifetime.”

The Dems are throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at the Repubs to win local, county, state, and national control and power, while the Repubs are trying to hold control. In contrast, their power is currently split over county, state, and national levels.

Every year it seems like election seasons start earlier and last longer, and to be blatantly honest with our readers…this journalist is looking forward to this election year to be over.

Corridor News brings voters the early voting turnout totals this year’s three weeks of Early Voting leading up to Election Day.

This year early voting runs through Friday, October 30, with election day on Tuesday, November 3, in Hays County.

Because Texas State University’s LBJ Student Center, an on-campus voting location in the past, cannot be used this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, university officials offered its Performing Arts Center (PAC) as an alternate location for on-campus voting this year.

Hays County has five super voting centers; Super Voting Centers have 24 machines, two check-in lines, and double the staff to help move larger volumes of voters.

For more information on early voting locations and Super Voting Centers, check out the full list HERE.
