Early Disinterest
By Richard Whittaker, October 22, 2009, 1:18am, Newsdesk
The totals for the first three days of in-person and mail-in early voting in the Nov. 3 Constitutional Amendment Election are in for Travis County, and it makes for pretty grim reading. Care to see the full results?
So far, in-person turnout has plummeted compared to the same elections in 2007, and is less than a fifth of the 2005 turnout. More votes were cast by this point in 2003, and that year the polls were closed for one day.
Votes cast 2009 2007 2005 2003 Day 1* 556 881 3,607 1,125 Day 2* 822 1,043 3,720 1,349 Day 3* 746 1,233 3,743 0 Mail-in 181 97 106 15 Total 2,305 3,254 11,176 2,489
