Texas is apparently at 95% of its 2016 total votes with two more days of early voting and Election Day to go.  :O
I think this kind of thing is going to break a lot of the polling models.

Actual total votes, or just mail-in and early votes?  If it's total votes, then I think Texas will end up as a poster child for vote fraud when everything is over.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I don't know how elections are run in Texas but I wouldn't think of it as a place that leaves itself open to vote fraud and most of their voting is in-person, not mail-in.
Although maybe being red for so long has led to complacency there.

In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

If most of Texas voting is in-person, and they are already at 95% of the 2016 vote total with early and mail in votes, they must have had one heck of a new voter registration drive.
Looks to me like there will be a lot of extra votes cast in Texas when the election is over.

We do have voter ID which makes it a little better.  They scanned my DL when I voted. 

A large chunk of the population doesn't vote even in Presidential elections.  If a bunch of extra people decided to register, that could change things.

Those are 2020 early voting totals compared to 2016 total number of actual ballots cast, not compared to total number of voters.

The Trib has a pretty good synopsis...
