Here's the record of the first two days of early voting in Harris County (click on the image to make it bigger.) It's by early vote location. Those locations can be found at this link, along with days and hours of early voting.
At first glance, it looks like Republican areas of the county are voting heavily, and Democratic areas not so much, but Kuff crunched the data after day one and didn't find that much difference in percentages from what happened right off the bat in 2006.
I live in Fort Bend, and voted on Monday. I'm sort sad the King Street Patriot poll watchers aren't out here. I would have loved to have been harassed, so I could get them in trouble (read or watch Miya Shay's report on their voter intimidation activities at minority poll locations in Harris County.) Instead, I just had to make my way through road construction and a police officer directing traffic right at the entrance of my early vote location.
As a reminder, here's all the info you need to find out how to vote early in Fort Bend County. It would be nice to see the early vote totals to date in Fort Bend County, but if they are on the always confusing elections website, I can't find them.
Folks, you have until next Friday to go vote early at any early voting location in your county. After that, mark your calendars for Tuesday, Nov. 2nd, where you will need to vote by 7 PM at the polling location in your precinct.
