Texas midterm turnout hits record highs as Democratic primary leads early voting

Early voting in Texas for the 2026 midterms is breaking records, with Democratic primary voters driving turnout well ahead of Republicans in the first week and overall Democratic primary votes topping 2024 and 2020 primaries; analysts credit high-profile Senate contests and Trump-era dynamics for energizing Democrats, while Republicans remain competitive but face a larger base, with countywide gains in places like Harris and Tarrant signaling a tight race come November.
