I've been doing a little research on voter turnout across TX since early voting started on Mon-10/21, and it looks like every major county's voter turnout has outpaced prior elections for the first day of early voting, except for Dallas county - which had a "technical glitch" of generating the WRONG ballots and may have driven away a lot of voters due to delays.
843K Texan voters (4.5% of TX's total registered voters) cast ballots on the first day of early voting (on 10/21) with over 12 counties not even being counted/added yet vs. 755K ballots cast on the first day of early voting in the 2020 Presidential election. Note that Texas has gained 1 million registered voters since the 11/2020 election.
Across the state, the highest population counties have already seen an average of 4-7% of registered voters cast ballots on the FIRST DAY of early voting, with Dallas county being the outlier @ 3.8% of registered voters casting ballots on 10/21, likely impaired by the voting machine "glitches" that occurred there.
First day of early voting (10/21) ballot tallies in high population N. Texas counties:
Dallas county @ 56K
Tarrant county (Ft. Worth metro) @ 58K
Collin county (Dallas suburban) @ 43.4K
Denton county (Dallas suburban) @ 49.8K
Per the Travis County Clerk, Austin/Travis county (Commie - deep blue) in central TX had "historic turnout" - breaking records for the past 3 elections with 46.6K voters casting ballots on the first day of early voting on Mon-10/21 (out of a total of 600K voters expected, 200K of which are anticipated on Election Day-11/5).

First day of early voting in TX (10/21) - statewide voter turnout in major metro areas:
Harris county (Houston metro) got 125K voters - which is a 50% increase vs. the Nov. 2016 Presidential election. They compared first day early voting turnout stats to the Nov. 2016 election instead of comparing it to Nov. 2020 b/c the TX Sec. of State hadn't provided the Nov. 2020 early voting stats.
Travis county (Austin metro) got 46.6K voters, which is higher than the past 3 elections.
Bexar county (San Antonio metro) got 47K early voters and some waited in line for over 2 hours to vote.
Dallas county got 56K early voters (noted above)
Turnout was also up well over 2016 levels in more purple, suburban counties like the Houston suburbs of Fort Bend and the Dallas suburb of Collin County.

Per the Texas Sec. of State, here are some interesting TX voter stats:
•As of the 3/2024 primaries: TX had 18 million registered voters out of 22 million in voting age population (82% of TX voting age people were registered to vote)
•In the 11/2020 Presidential election, TX had 17 million registered voters out of 21.6 million in voting age population (78.5% of TX voting age people were registered to vote for POTUS election & 75% ratio during 2020 primaries)
•Key take-aways of 2024 vs. 2020 voter registrations: 1 million more TX registered voters in 2024 vs. 2020 with a 3.5% increase in registered voters ratio to voting age population in the March 2024 primaries & a 7% increase in registered voters ratio to voting age population compared to the March 2020 primaries.
Presidential 2020 voter turnout in TX:
•17 million registered voters / 21.6 million voting age population (78.5%)
•Voter turnout: 11.3 million out of 17 million registered voters (66.7%)
•March 2024 Republican primary voter turnout @ 2.3 million (13% of registered voters / 10.6% of voting age population)
•March 2024 Democrat primary voter turnout @ 982K (5.5% of registered voters / 4.5% of voting age population)

I also posted an update re: my experience at my local polling location in a Houston suburb, where I successfully voted (for Pres. Trump) on 10/22. :-) I got to observe the whole (publicly visible) voting operation inside my polling place for about an hour while I waited and thankfully didn't see any shenanigans. Also got feedback from election workers inside and the father of a (Republican) son who's running for TX state legislature re: the volume of voter turnout they're seeing compared to prior elections.

Dallas is poised for an even bigger rigging this election. Dallas hires top notch election rigger Heider Garcia Smartmatic engineer. He rigged elections in the Philippines, he flipped Tarrant County in 2020 then moved onto Dallas.

You're so right. :-( I used to live in Tarrant county (during the 2020 election) and found out about that Smartmatic mo-fo being brought in. Tarrant county is (historically) red as blood - but it magically went for Biden in 2020, thanks to that SoB!
Looks like the Dallas county steal may already be underway with "wrong ballots being printed" thing that started on 10/21. What wasn't clear to me about that report though was if they're talking about voting machines in Dallas county "printing wrong ballots" or if the election workers are handing voters inaccurate paper ballots that list the wrong candidates or races for their precinct - something like that?
Everywhere in Texas that I've voted (across 5 different counties), voters get a BLANK piece of scan-tron type of paper (long skinny piece of paper that looks like a large 'ticket') and insert it into the voting machine to begin the process. Voters do their candidate selections on a computer screen, then after confirming your answers/choices the voter prints out all their selections onto their scan-tron type of piece of paper that becomes their ballot. In every experience I've had voting across Texas for decades, the ballot piece of paper doesn't have any races or candidates listed on it until AFTER the voter selects them on the machine and then prints their ballot out once they've made all their voting selections.
Possibly, there are some counties in Texas that use paper ballots with the candidates/races listed on them and voters mark the paper ballot by hand, but I have never seen that process in Dallas county and have previously voted there for decades.
So I'm wondering about this Dallas county "printing wrong ballots" sitch if what that REALLY means is the printout of the ballots (after voters select their candidates on the screen) isn't matching how the voter chose for each race on the screen. As in, the voting machines are CHANGING their selections before voters print out their own ballots. If that's the case, then those (vote swapped) paper ballots would get scanned and tabulate votes cast for someone other than the voters' intention AND the ballot 'paper trail' would reflect actual votes for those UNintended candidates too.
Weird!! We (Johnson County) get a preprinted ballot and fill in bubbles just like in school!! We had checked the ballot online to make sure we didn’t have to research something but there was a tax issue I didn't see on the online sample ballot
Ooooooh wow, so some counties in Texas DO use pre-printed ballots with bubbles that you mark by hand. I've never seen that method being used after voting in 5 different Texas counties across decades.
The reason why I'm wondering is re: this mysterious "printing the wrong ballots" situation in Dallas county. Trying to figure out if Dallas county is (A) using pre-printed paper ballots that voters hand mark their selections on vs. (B) using blank piece of paper ballots being given to voters that are only populated AFTER the voter does their selections on a machine and then prints out their selections on the ballot paper (that had been BLANK when they started the process).
This is one thing I really really love about Johnson County voting. It was this way during the 2022 midterms as well as this years primary, at least where we vote here in Burleson
That would be one of Heider’s many tricks to steal elections. He is an engineer and trained by Smartmatic.
So many irregularities were found in Tarrant County and reported to everyone up the food chain including Greg Abbott, Sidney Powell and Ted Cruz, plus more. Nothing happened. We wrote letters, confronted the mayor who said “Heider is well liked and wants to redeem himself from his past.” (She is a young RINO with deep and mysterious funding.) 2020 was the first time Fort Worth/Arlington went blue since 1964!
We kept reporting him and posting proof. Plenty of negative stories were available but about a year ago the internet was flooded with glowing stories of Heider’s integrity and the ‘crazy conspiracy theorists’ who called out the irregularities. I figure he hired Reputation Defender to clean up his online act before announcing his Dallas rigging gig, also known as Head of Elections for Dallas County.
It’s maddening. Frankly, we gave up. It falls on deaf ears. Hiring a Venezuelan Smartmatic Engineer and lifetime Smartmatic employee with a past full of documented Election Interference means you want him to rig your elections. That is his expertise.
There is no one left to tell and the internet was scrubbed.
Geez, this is so disgusting and sad to hear. God bless you for all your valiant efforts to expose this mass corruption though! Clearly, the Smartmatic guru was brought in specifically to set up and execute the steal - that's their whole job. Dammit!!!!! :-(
There is a lot of fuckery going on. Look how many Dems have moved to Texas or keep an address there just to vote. They (Commiforinians) have a whole program to vote in Texas to flip it blue using a common address but they live in and vote in another state. Billionaire Sasha Bass and Alice Walton (richest woman in the world and left-wing nutter just like the Bass family) are reportedly behind the initiative to flip the whole state along with their west coast ties. They certainly orchestrated the Tarrant County Flip, or so ‘thé rumor mill’ says.
