Here's how many Texans have voted early in the 2020 general election
Through Oct. 21, the ninth day of early voting for Texans in the 2020 general election, 5,887,488 people had voted in person and by mail — 34.7% of registered voters in Texas. As Texans head to the polls to choose their candidates for the 2020 general election, The Texas Tribune will update this tracker daily through the early voting period, which runs from Oct. 13 to Oct. 30. Data is provisional and subject to change as counties finalize numbers. What you need to know Early voting polls were closed in some counties on Sunday, Oct. 18, and mail is not delivered on Sundays. Two key Texas counties — Democratic strong-
hold Harris and traditionally red Denton — are setting early voting records. 60% of Texas likely voters said they plan to vote early in-person this year, according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll. In 2018, Texas saw the nation’s sixth-highest voter turnout increase, but still lagged behind most other states. Due to the pandemic, this election’s early voting period was extended by a week, and officials are expecting a surge in early votes by mail. Both factors could contribute to higher turnout for early voting. These totals include mail-in ballots received before the start of the early voting period.
In the 10 counties with the most registered voters, 3,480,385 people, or 35.8% of registered voters, have voted early. According to the latest figures reported by the secretary of state before the 2020 general election, 57.3% of registered voters live in these 10 counties. Politically, the 10 largest counties don’t represent Texas’ other 244 smaller counties. In 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won the large counties by about 620,000 votes. President Donald Trump netted 1.4 million votes in the other counties and won the state. The large counties moved further to the left in the latest statewide race, when U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke won the large counties by 930,000 votes. But that couldn’t offset Sen. Ted Cruz’ 1.1 million vote advantage in the other counties. There are 2.5 million registered voters in Harris County, and 876,887 have cast ballots. Here’s the cumulative percentage of registered voters in Harris County who voted early through Oct. 21. To learn more about local elections, you can visit Harris County’s elections website. Through Oct. 21, 35.4% of registered voters had cast their ballots in Harris County. 30.7% voted in person 4.7% voted by mail There are 1.4 million registered voters in Dallas County, and 488,621 have cast ballots. Here’s the cumulative percentage of registered voters in Dallas County who

Here’s the cumulative percentage of registered voters in Collin County who voted early through Oct. 21. To learn more about local elections, you can visit Collin County’s elections website. Through Oct. 21, 44.8% of registered voters had cast their ballots in Collin County. 42% voted in person 2.8% voted by mail. About the data Preliminary 2020 early voting data comes from the Texas secretary of state. When data for the 10 largest counties is not available, numbers are from the county elections office. Early voting turnout for 2016 and 2012 and registered voter numbers are also from the secretary of state. The maps of Texas are created from Texas county boundaries provided by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Disclosure: The Texas secretary of state has been a financial supporter of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization that is funded in part by donations from members, foundations and corporate sponsors. Financial supporters play no role in the Tribune’s journalism. Find a complete list of them here. Alex Samuels and Darla Cameron contributed to this report. Illustrations by Emily Albracht.

TAKING THE DREAD OUT OF BUDGETING
Dear Dave, I’ve been trying to get my sister and her husband on your plan, but they’re hesitant to try living on a budget. They make good money, and both of them think doing a budget every month would be too difficult and take too much time. Do you have any suggestions I could pass along that might make them realize that making a budget isn’t so hard or time consuming? Kelsey Dear Kelsey, Believe me, I hear those excuses all the time. In most cases, the people who say these kinds of things don’t really understand what a budget is or how to efficiently put one together. If you’ve followed my advice, you learned first-hand that budgeting isn’t scary once you get the hang of it. Household budgets don’t need to be about hours of tedious math and complicated formu-
las. Like most things in life, simple is usually best. A good way to simplify budgeting, especially for couples, is by making it a team effort. It’s important to make sure your spouse is on board, and knows what’s up with the budget, because you’re just asking for problems when one spouse is doing all the planning and the other is doing all the spending. Sit down together for a few minutes, once a month, and have a budget meeting where you look at your income, your outgo, and you both give every dollar a name and a job to do. It’s really that simple. Share your ideas, your hopes, and your dreams for the future, as well as the fears you have. The important thing is that you’re both in agreement and working together. That alone will make your lives, your budget, and your money easier to handle.
Also, make sure you have cut up all your credit cards and closed the accounts. No more credit cards means fewer bills to add to the budget, fewer complications, and zero worries about fees and interest rates. Stick to using a debit card and cash. After all, they’re both part of the plan! Making a schedule for budget meetings and bill payments is a good idea, too. You can even make your budget meetings a fun time by including your favorite snacks. Set up auto drafts out of your checking account to pay bills, and buy your groceries on a set day every week or twice a month. When you know what to expect and when, it takes a lot of stress and potential pitfalls out of the budgeting picture. There’s always some work and discipline that goes along with gaining control of your money. But a budget doesn’t need to be torture. A little planning, communication, and some basic math will go a long way—and it won’t be nearly as time consuming, or as difficult, as you think! *Dave Ramsey is a seven-time #1 national best-selling author, personal finance expert, and host of The Dave Ramsey Show, heard by more than 16 million listeners each week.
