Mail Ballots-
1,037 received today which is the 3rd highest day of mail ballots returned. We're at about 65% above the total returned in 2004 and there will probably be over 1,000 returned tomorrow.
Total VBM Cast in 2004: 9,589
2008 VBM Cast so far : 15,304
In Person Voting-
A total of 30,370 were cast in person today for a total (with mail ballots) of 31,407 for the day. 261,155 have voted in Travis County now which is 43% of all registered voters. With the additional voting hours at the mega sites and turnout today being a little above what I was expecting, we'd only need 39,000 votes tomorrow to cross the 300,000 mark and if over 43,500 vote tomorrow, we'll pass 50% total turnout of all registered voters in Travis County during the Early Vote ALONE.
Total Early Vote Projection-
At this point, it's all down to how many people vote tomorrow. The Travis County elections division is predicting over 50,000 voters tomorrow which would put us at over 310,000. So the actual number is totally dependent on tomorrow and as such, our projection will split the difference and increase.
Today's "Best Guess" Total Travis EV Projection: 305,000
