Final 2015 EV statewide totals

Presented for completeness. Here are the 2015 EV totals from the top 15 counties, and here are the 2013 totals. And here is a handy table comparing the two:


County     13 total  15 total      Inc
======================================
Harris      101,694   193,966   90.73%
Dallas       22,119    42,392   91.65%
Tarrant      29,928    42,308   41.37%
Bexar        30,845    42,216   36.86%
Travis       34,672    27,224  -21.48%
Collin       18,506    27,836   50.42%
El Paso       4,864    11,255  131.39%
Denton       12,714    17,888   40.70%
Fort Bend    12,500    21,782   74.26%
Hidalgo      12,391     9,709  -21.64%
Montgomery    6,043    22,606  274.09%
Williamson   12,349    14,574   18.02%
Galveston     4,148     9,236  122.66%
Nueces       12,677     4,099  -67.67%

Total       315,450    487,091  54.41%

Here’s the previous statewide EV post; note that the rate of increase notched up from 51% to over 54%. For all the ballyhoo over how vigorous early voting was in Harris County, it only saw the fourth-largest increase overall. We know about Montgomery and its contentious road bond issue, but I have no idea about Dallas or El Paso or Galveston. Anyway, my point as before is that Harris wasn’t unique – if all these counties have an increase in early voting, for no obvious reason, it seems likely that behavior shifting is a part of it. We know that already from the daily rosters in Houston, but it never hurts to have corroboration.
